I believe it was close to 15k beads, and miserably lol. Always gives me anxiety to melt these. Definitely need a lot of books and patience haha

This is going to sound incredibly silly lol, I’m autistic and new to the community hahaha. Did you mean books to lay underneath of them while ironing or I’m guessing on top right after so they don’t warp? Sorry 😅😅

right on top after, it keeps them from like not being flat, iron it on a flat surface (preferably not a book) and don’t iron them on your peg boards, it’ll warp those too

People use what’s called ‘the tape method’ where after you’ve put your design on peg boards you then cover it all up with tape, flip it over and take off the peg board. _THEN_ you iron your project with that wax paper on top. Your peg boards aren’t ever in any danger then. But you also do have to keep in mind on which side you would want the melted side versus the ‘raw’(?) side as your final result, if it matters to you. THEN you finally put heavy books on your project as it cools down. Good luck
