🔥 Ironing card

Size: 10×8
Beads: 36
Heat: Medium (wool setting)
Time per side: 10–15s

B×45
A×35

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: Arrow

Color planning comes first on the Arrow pattern: sort your Red and White stock before you start, because those two shades alone account for the majority of the 36-bead count across 2 colors. The 10×8 layout means each pegboard row takes roughly 1-2 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 magnets.

Where It Shines

Think of the Arrow chart as a 10-20-minute project with a display payoff: the 10×8 grid, 36 beads and 2-color palette produce a piece with enough presence for a desk or shelf on its own. The neutral zones photograph well under warm light — worth remembering if you share makes on social media. Pair with simpler easy 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.
