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.
Colors & Technique: Toad Mushroom
The Toad Mushroom design is built around 6 bead colors, with blue (White, Red) carrying most of the 68 beads. On a 12Γ14 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 β the outline and facial features β for when you want full concentration. Medium heat and slow circles when ironing keep the blue areas from over-fusing; a 10-20 minute build at medium difficulty.
Where It Shines
Think of the Toad Mushroom chart as a 10-20-minute project with a display payoff: the 12Γ14 grid, 68 beads and 6-color palette produce a piece with enough presence for a desk or shelf on its own. The blue zones photograph well under warm light β worth remembering if you share makes on social media. Pair with simpler mario charts when teaching kids or running a craft night; mixed difficulty keeps a group engaged.

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.
