Description
Totally forgot that I never posted this This is the template for my Minecraft Mooshroom perler project
1. Arrange the beads in these patterns, the dark blue is the outline for the whole piece and the dark green represents an area where no beads should be present.
2. LIGHTLY iron both sides, you don't want to flatten the beads, just melt them enough so they're sturdy and they have the shape of a capital I
3. Fit the pieces together, I've done my best to show where the pieces go in accordance to each other, the head plugs into the body like a socket, and the horns fit under the piece of head like a hook. The five pieces in the corner are the shroom pattern and those you'll just need to glue together, similarly the 4x5 pink beads are for the udder, which you'll also need to glue on. Where the shrooms should be applied is marked with small yellow marks, whereas the udder should go just between the two back legs.
*** I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend putting the pieces together as you build them instead of finishing them all and assembling the whole thing at the end- there are too many ways for the sides and the leg pieces to get mixed up together in ways that are nearly indecipherable. The small piece above the 'front' of the body should be included in the back of the head and should be assembled there before attempting to put the head on the body.
** Similarly, wait to put the back on the Mooshroom until you get the legs assembled and put together- 'plugging in' the back legs is SIGNIFICANTLY easier if the mooshroom's back is not present and you can reach down to maneuver the beads in place. Ideally, the Mooshroom's back is the LAST PIECE you attach.
This is the order I used to assemble it:
1. Head w/horns
2. Body shell; front, sides, back (booty) belly.
3. Leg pieces, working clockwise from right front leg around.
4. Hooves, udder, shrooms
5. Back (top)
