Design Notes: 10×9 Pixel Composition

This 10×9 grid (90 beads) is the simplest heart shape possible. Red fills the main body, pink creates a lighter accent or border. The heart's iconic two-bump top and pointed bottom must be rendered precisely — the two top bumps should be symmetric, and the bottom point should converge cleanly. At only 2 colors, this is an ideal project for very young children or as a quick Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, or anniversary gift.

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.
