Making tips

  1. Lock in shell, gray head, six legs

    In side view, place the dark outline for the red-orange shell, gray head, and six short legs to set the crouch. Legs are mostly one bead wide — map them carefully.

  2. Fill red-orange shell and gray head

    Lay the red-orange shell (with deeper red along the lower edge if shown) and medium gray on the head. At 64×64, finish shell → head → legs as zones.

  3. Place the dark shell spots

    Dark gray spots vary in size and are not mirrored — place each against the chart instead of spacing them evenly by habit.

  4. Add antennae, white eye, foot highlights

    Finish antennae, the white side eye, and pale foot highlights last. Those white/pale accents are rare — scan them once more when done.

  5. Final check before ironing

    Double-check all six thin legs, complete shell spots, white eye, and antennae before you iron.
