I needed to make this girl a present and she likes penguins so I figured I'd do some pixel art out of these beads. For those who don't know, you get the colors and you put them on a peg board and then iron them. The penguin is a heavily modified Bub or Bob sprite and then the other two are for you (the audience) to guess! They sell these things on Etsy so I figure I'd try my hand at that. 90% of the stuff on there is Mario or Pokemon related things so I thought I might go more obscure and stand out. Some of the problems I've run into is one of my peg boards already warping and my iron heating very unevenly. I was thinking maybe heating up a cast iron skillet and then pressing that onto the backs of these. I try to melt the backside so the little holes fill up, that way you can hold them up and look at them and not see light penetrating through the holes.
