How-To and Use Case Notes

Use Case: Perfect as a standalone desk display, a fun magnet for the fridge, or a cute addition to an animal-themed room decoration.

FAQ

Do I need a special pegboard for this pelican pattern?

A standard square pegboard will work great. Just make sure it is large enough to fit the wide base of the feet and the extended beak.

What is the best way to iron the thin beak area?

Apply gentle, even heat across the entire design, paying extra attention to where the orange beak connects to the head so it fuses securely without warping.
