Materials
About this design
The cup is filled with Sand milk tea, with dark Cocoa tapioca pearls gathered at the bottom. A White domed lid sits on top, and a Pink straw rises out of it through the centre. Two Black eyes and a tiny smile on the cup give it a kawaii face. It is a popular design with older children and teens, and it looks great as a set of three in different flavours.
You will need roughly 84 Sand, 73 Black, 24 Cocoa, 12 White and 7 Pink beads. Buy a few spares of each, because the odd bead always rolls away.
Placing the beads
At 17 × 16 beads the design fits easily on one large square pegboard. Recolour the tea in the editor, Light Pink for strawberry or Pastel Green for matcha, to make a whole menu.
Ironing and finishing
Ironing is a job for an adult. Cover the beads with ironing paper, set a dry iron to medium and move it in slow circles until the beads just begin to merge, then let it cool, turn it over and press the back. Cool it flat under a heavy book so it stays straight. At about 8.5 × 8 cm in midi beads it makes a keyring, a magnet or a phone-case charm in mini beads.
Colour plan
Perler 80-19098 Sand does the most work, 42% of the 200 beads, followed by Perler 80-19018 Black at 37%. Perler 80-19083 Pink (7) is used only a little: small details worth marking on the chart so you don't miss them. 26% of the grid is left empty.
Working notes
All the beads touch along a full side, so it irons into one solid piece.
