Making tips
Lock in shell, claws, and thin legs
Place the deep-brown outline for the oval shell, raised claws, and side legs first to set the cheerful open-claw stance. Left and right are largely mirrored — compare spacing as you go.
Fill the bright orange body
Lay bright orange inside the shell, claws, and legs. At 64×64, finish shell → claws → legs as zones and check closed outlines after each.
Add pale shell highlight and joint accents
Place the pale orange highlight on the shell and red-white accents on claw insides and leg joints. The highlight is slightly uneven — match the chart, not perfect mirror fill.
Place stalk eyes and tiny red mouth
Add the two stalk eyes on top and the tiny red mouth in the center last. White and deep-red accents are few — scan them once more when finished.
Final check before ironing
Double-check both claws for gaps, complete thin legs, stalk eyes, and the tiny red mouth before you iron.
