How to make this pattern

1. Lay the pegboard flat and gather the bead colors listed above. A small bowl per color speeds placement.
2. Place each bead on the pegboard following the chart — work row-by-row so you don’t lose your spot.
3. Cover the finished design with a sheet of parchment or ironing paper, fully flat against the beads.
4. Iron on medium heat (about 350°F / 175°C) for 10–15 seconds, moving in slow circles until beads fuse evenly.
5. Let the piece cool fully — about 1 minute — then peel off the parchment.
6. For a stronger fuse, flip the piece and iron the back side the same way. This is what we call double-sided ironing.

Tips

• Always use parchment paper. Direct iron contact warps individual beads and destroys the grid spacing.
• Keep the iron moving in slow circles. Pressing in one spot creates flat dimples in the finished piece.
• Pop the cooled piece in the freezer for 30 seconds before peeling parchment — it releases cleaner that way.
