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: Peace Sign

What makes the Peace Sign chart manageable is color blocking: the 12×12 grid resolves into 3 clearly separated zones, led by deep dark White. Lay each zone in beads first, then step back and check the borders — misaligned color boundaries are the most common flaw at this scale, and they are far easier to fix before ironing. Total build time lands around 10-20 minutes; difficulty is rated medium across 72 beads.

Where It Shines

Where does the Peace Sign pattern fit in a real collection? Its 12×12 footprint and 72-bead count place it in the display tier: too detailed for a first project, but a satisfying second or third build. The deep dark lead color and 3-color span mean one mid-size jar of each shade covers it with leftovers. Group it with other easy designs on a pegboard wall or shadow box for a rotating exhibit.

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.
