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: 10Γ14 Pixel Composition
This 10Γ14 grid (140 beads) uses 4 colors: black for the back, white for the belly, orange for the beak and feet, and yellow accents. The vertical oval body shape with a white belly patch is essential β it immediately reads as a penguin. The small orange beak and two feet at the bottom add character. The slightly tall proportions (10Γ14, taller than wide) capture the penguin's upright waddling stance. Easy difficulty β a popular winter-themed pattern.

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.
