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.
Design Notes: 20×20 Pixel Composition
Symmetry and leg count make or break a spider silhouette. Keep the body compact and centered, legs splayed symmetrically (four each side), with clear gaps between legs so it reads as a spider, not a blob. Single color = zero sorting.

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.
