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 Beloved Farm Animal
The pig is one of the most recognizable farm animals worldwide and appears in countless children's stories, cartoons, and games. In Minecraft, pigs were the first passive mob ever added to the game (even before cows and chickens). They can be ridden with a saddle and controlled with a carrot on a stick. The pig's round pink body, snout, and floppy ears make it a perennial favorite for craft projects β especially for Chinese New Year (Year of the Pig) and farm-themed decorations.

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.
