How-To and Use Case Notes

  • How-To: Start with the heavy black outlines first to lock in the shape. Use a pair of tweezers to place the tiny facial details like the eyes and the small forehead mark. Iron both sides evenly, making sure to apply gentle pressure on the extended arms so they don't break off.
  • Use Case: Perfect for a retro cartoon desk display or a cool magnet for your fridge.

FAQ

What size pegboard do I need for this pattern?

A standard square pegboard will work, but make sure it has enough space horizontally to accommodate the outstretched arms.

How do I prevent the arms from bending or breaking after ironing?

Place a heavy book on top of the design immediately after ironing while it cools to keep the plastic completely flat and sturdy.
