Starry Crescent Moon

I wanted a cosy pattern for kids’ bedrooms, and this crescent moon with its little stars felt just right. The chart reads simply: each square is a bead, and the little stars sit separately, as tiny five-bead crosses placed around the moon. A single square pegboard is plenty for this one, since the design stays nicely spread out. When ironing, go gently on the stars: since they’re small and sit on their own on the board, lay your baking paper over the whole surface and press the iron flat so none of them come loose. Once your pieces are pressed, have fun gluing or hanging them together above a bed for a sweet handmade starry sky. A really simple pattern, but one that makes a lovely little statement in a cosy bedroom!
