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: Spiral Galaxy

At 585 beads and 6 colors, the Spiral Galaxy chart sits in the M-tier of our space collection — substantial enough to reward careful color placement, still small enough to finish in one 20-40-minute session. The palette runs from Ocean Blue through Navy Blue, and the pattern page's color list doubles as a shopping check: every shade is named with its exact bead count, so you can confirm your stash covers the blue dominant zones before committing.

Where It Shines

Where does the Spiral Galaxy pattern fit in a real collection? Its 48×48 footprint and 585-bead count place it in the display tier: too detailed for a first project, but a satisfying second or third build. The blue lead color and 6-color span mean one mid-size jar of each shade covers it with leftovers. Group it with other space 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.
