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.
Design Notes: 12Γ14 Pixel Composition
This 12Γ14 grid (168 beads) uses 6 colors to render a perched owl: brown body feathers, dark brown wing tips, tan chest, orange beak and feet, and black eyes. The two oversized round eyes are the focal point β they should be large, symmetrical, and placed high on the face. The V-shaped feather tufts above the eyes give the owl its distinctive 'wise' look. The textured chest, achieved through alternating tan and light brown beads, adds depth. Medium difficulty, ideal for nature lovers.

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.
