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: End Dragon Encounter
Color planning comes first on the End Dragon Encounter pattern: sort your Void Black and Obsidian Dark stock before you start, because those two shades alone account for the majority of the 16384-bead count across 14 colors. The 128Γ128 layout means each pegboard row takes roughly 16-21 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 home decor.
Where It Shines
Where does the End Dragon Encounter pattern fit in a real collection? Its 128Γ128 footprint and 16384-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 8-color span mean one mid-size jar of each shade covers it with leftovers. Group it with other minecraft designs on a pegboard wall or shadow box for a rotating exhibit.

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.
