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: Sunflower

Color planning comes first on the Sunflower pattern: sort your Cheddar and Cocoa stock before you start, because those two shades alone account for the majority of the 1896-bead count across 6 colors. The 56×56 layout means each pegboard row takes roughly 7-9 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 Sunflower pattern fit in a real collection? Its 56×56 footprint and 1896-bead count place it in the display tier: too detailed for a first project, but a satisfying second or third build. The orange lead color and 6-color span mean one mid-size jar of each shade covers it with leftovers. Group it with other nature designs on a pegboard wall or shadow box for a rotating exhibit.

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.
