Keep the iron moving in circles — 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.
Colors & Technique: Batarang
Color planning comes first on the Batarang pattern: sort your Black and Black stock before you start, because those two shades alone account for the majority of the 168-bead count across 2 colors. The 32×32 layout means each pegboard row takes roughly 4-5 minutes once you hit a rhythm. Iron both sides and press under a book while cooling so the finished piece stays flat for framing or keychains.
Where It Shines
Think of the Batarang chart as a 10-20-minute project with a display payoff: the 32×32 grid, 168 beads and 2-color palette produce a piece with enough presence for a desk or shelf on its own. The deep dark zones photograph well under warm light — worth remembering if you share makes on social media. Pair with simpler batman charts when teaching kids or running a craft night; mixed difficulty keeps a group engaged.

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.
