Making tips

  1. Lock in head, striped body, wings

    Place the deep-brown outline for the round head, plump body, and two wings first. Front and back wings differ in size — do not mirror them.

  2. Fill yellow body and white wings

    Lay bright yellow on the head/body and white inside the wings. At 48×48, finish body then wings as zones so the main fills are solid.

  3. Add the dark body stripes

    Deep-brown vertical bands alternate with yellow. Match each stripe width on the chart instead of spacing them evenly by eye.

  4. Finish antennae, eye, wing highlights

    Add antennae, eye, tiny legs, pale gray wing-edge highlights, and any warm face accent last. Single-count beads deserve a final scan.

  5. Final check before ironing

    Double-check stripe spacing, closed wing outlines, antennae, and pale wing highlights before you iron.
