Questions

How do I start “Nutcracker guard”?

Use a 5mm midi pegboard at least 61×61 cells, with a one- or two-cell margin so you can lift the board. Start from a corner or the dark outline and follow the preview above. This chart uses about 1748 beads in 7 colors—pick them from the legend on this page.

How do I iron it without melting colors together?

Advanced boards are denser. Iron in zones so adjacent colors do not fuse into one blot. Beads face up, baking paper on top, iron set flat. Wait a few seconds before peeling.

Will this work on Perler, Hama, and common pegboards?

Yes. It is a 5mm midi chart, so Perler, Hama, and common pegboards share the same pitch. Buy beads by the codes on this page, not by a store package name.

What should I follow while I place beads?

Follow the full preview on this page. This is a Pro chart; HD PNG, 1:1 PDF, and board splits export in the Bead Pattern app.
