How-To and Use Case Notes

  • How-To: Start by placing the black outline beads on a square pegboard to map out the shape. Fill in the body with orange tones and use cream colors for the shell. Use tweezers for the small eye and mouth sections before applying even heat with an iron.
  • Use Case: Makes a great summer-themed magnet, coaster, or cute desk display item.

FAQ

Do I need a special pegboard for this pattern?

A standard medium or large square pegboard will work perfectly since the design fits within a square layout.

How can I prevent the fragile leg tips from breaking?

Make sure to iron both sides evenly, paying extra attention to the outer edges and legs so the beads fuse together securely.
