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: Lotus
The Lotus design is built around 4 bead colors, with purple (Bubblegum, Dark Purple) carrying most of the 1364 beads. On a 56Γ56 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 purple areas from over-fusing; a 40-90 minute build at hard difficulty.
Where It Shines
Think of the Lotus chart as a 40-90-minute project with a display payoff: the 56Γ56 grid, 1364 beads and 4-color palette produce a piece with enough presence for a desk or shelf on its own. The purple zones photograph well under warm light β 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
- 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.
