Beads: 66
Heat: Medium (wool setting)
Time per side: 10–15s

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: Snowman

What makes the Snowman chart manageable is color blocking: the 12×16 grid resolves into 6 clearly separated zones, led by deep dark White. Lay each zone in beads first, then step back and check the borders — misaligned color boundaries are the most common flaw at this scale, and they are far easier to fix before ironing. Total build time lands around 10-20 minutes; difficulty is rated medium across 66 beads.

Where It Shines

Think of the Snowman chart as a 10-20-minute project with a display payoff: the 12×16 grid, 66 beads and 6-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 — 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

💡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.
