Design Notes: 16×16 Pixel Composition

This 16×16 grid (256 beads) uses 5 colors. The trunk is the most critical element — it curves from the face down and back up, distinguishing an elephant from any other animal. The tusks (white) frame the trunk, and the ears (light gray) extend to the sides. The pink cheek detail adds character. At hard difficulty, this pattern suits crafters who have completed smaller animal patterns like the Penguin or Owl and want a larger, more detailed display piece.

How to Make This Pattern — Step by Step

Supplies

•Light Gray × 14

1

Iron on medium heat for 30-60 seconds with circular motions.

Flip and iron the other side.

Ironing Tips

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

FAQ

Can I add a water spray from the trunk?▼

Yes — add 3-4 light blue beads at the tip of the trunk for a playful water spray. This custom touch makes the elephant look like it's drinking or playing at a watering hole.
