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: Jack-o'-Lantern
Color planning comes first on the Jack-o'-Lantern pattern: sort your Orange and Black stock before you start, because those two shades alone account for the majority of the 78-bead count across 3 colors. The 10Γ10 layout means each pegboard row takes roughly 1-2 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 Jack-o'-Lantern chart as a 10-20-minute project with a display payoff: the 10Γ10 grid, 78 beads and 3-color palette produce a piece with enough presence for a desk or shelf on its own. The deep dark zones photograph well under warm light β worth remembering if you share makes on social media. Pair with simpler seasonal 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.
