Sprite Stitch Board!

This is my first real project. Before this all I had done was simple shapes, a 3d star, 3d dresser, and dice. simple things.

Behold my Awesomeness!!!: (needs ironing sorry)



Cloud from FF7 Advent Children
Admittedly I'm having to get creative to iron the darn thing! Then some beads fell out,. its been a trial lol.
But it is complete and I have to share it with EVERYONE!!!

It looks really great. I'd say your first big project was a success so long as the iron cooperates. But I may be prejudiced since I love anything FF7...

I think you've made a success out of your first big project Well Done

I was about to start drooling. I thought it was Sora from Kingdom Hearts. Then I seen it was Cloud when I scrolled down. It looks amazing! Great job!

thank you thank you

this thing has given me trouble with ironing tho.. bought some wax paper and it just stuck to it..

any ideas on what to use the next time i do a large one like this? i really hate those small sheets that come with the beads...

if you've got a pixelated pic i'll give it a go

I don't know if you have a Hobby Lobby close by but I found the ironing paper there and it was alot bigger sheets. When I do large projects then I just use several papers to cover the whole thing and just iron away. It's easier to me than to pick up the paper from what you already ironed b/c if there are beads that haven't fused yet they will come up and you'll have to fix it again.

And here's a pic of Sora that I have.

I also have a pic of Roxas if you are interested in trying him too.

You should be able to buy a roll of parchment paper from any grocery store. It's the best bet for ironing big projects.

doesn't look to bad, i'll give it a go soon. got a couple things my son an husband want first lol

and thank you both for the suggestions on the paper to use. never heard of a hobby lobby, but i saw some parchment paper, but was scared it would stick too since it just felt weird and not waxy,. but now i'll pick some up tonight

Is that what the ironing paper is, parchment paper? Maybe I should try that instead of buying the perler brand paper.
