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: Mountain Sunset

Color planning comes first on the Mountain Sunset pattern: sort your Orange and Dark Green stock before you start, because those two shades alone account for the majority of the 164-bead count across 7 colors. The 20×16 layout means each pegboard row takes roughly 2-3 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 Mountain Sunset chart as a 10-20-minute project with a display payoff: the 20×16 grid, 164 beads and 7-color palette produce a piece with enough presence for a desk or shelf on its own. The orange zones photograph well under warm light — worth remembering if you share makes on social media. Pair with simpler nature 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.
