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: Butterfly

At 576 beads and 10 colors, the Butterfly chart sits in the M-tier of our nature collection — substantial enough to reward careful color placement, still small enough to finish in one 20-40-minute session. The palette runs from Blue through Hot Pink, and the pattern page's color list doubles as a shopping check: every shade is named with its exact bead count, so you can confirm your stash covers the orange dominant zones before committing.

Where It Shines

Think of the Butterfly chart as a 20-40-minute project with a display payoff: the 24×24 grid, 576 beads and 10-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.
