Keep the iron moving in circles β never park it in one spot. Cover with parchment paper, iron one side, flip carefully, iron the other.
Fuzzy look? Iron slightly less on the pegboard side, then texture with a towel while still warm.
Colors & Technique: Dragon Head
Color planning comes first on the Dragon Head pattern: sort your Dark Green and Green stock before you start, because those two shades alone account for the majority of the 596-bead count across 7 colors. The 32Γ32 layout means each pegboard row takes roughly 4-5 minutes once you hit a rhythm. Iron both sides and press under a book while cooling so the finished piece stays flat for framing or magnets.
Where It Shines
Where does the Dragon Head pattern fit in a real collection? Its 32Γ32 footprint and 596-bead count place it in the display tier: too detailed for a first project, but a satisfying second or third build. The green lead color and 7-color span mean one mid-size jar of each shade covers it with leftovers. Group it with other animals designs on a pegboard wall or shadow box for a rotating exhibit.

Ironing Tips
- π‘Medium heat only β too hot and the beads over-melt and lose shape; too cool and they won't fuse.
- π‘Keep the iron moving in slow circles β staying in one spot melts that area flat.
- π‘Iron both sides and press under a heavy book while cooling to keep it flat.
