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.
Background: The Classic Dairy Cow
The dairy cow is one of the most iconic farm animals, known for its distinctive black-and-white spotted coat (Holstein breed). In Minecraft, cows are essential for obtaining leather (for books and armor) and beef. They are bred with wheat and can be found grazing in grassy biomes. The cow's white body with black patches, pink udder, and horns make it a classic craft subject β perfect for farm dioramas, kitchen decorations, and educational projects about where food comes from.

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.
