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: Bob-omb

The Bob-omb design is built around 5 bead colors, with neutral (Black, Dark Gray) carrying most of the 638 beads. On a 32×32 grid that density keeps large areas in single-color runs, so you can fill the background zones while watching a show and save the detail rows — the outline and facial features — for when you want full concentration. Medium heat and slow circles when ironing keep the neutral areas from over-fusing; a 40-90 minute build at medium difficulty.

Where It Shines

Where does the Bob-omb pattern fit in a real collection? Its 32×32 footprint and 638-bead count place it in the display tier: too detailed for a first project, but a satisfying second or third build. The neutral lead color and 5-color span mean one mid-size jar of each shade covers it with leftovers. Group it with other mario 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.
