Ironing Paper
Ironing Instructions



This pattern set will work best with a mixture of ironing techniques. For the base,
ironing firmly on just one side will give a nice flat base. Try not to squash the base
too flat as the slots will change shape and be hard to put the pieces in.
For the swans and eggs, iron on both sides for strength, but put straight under a
book to keep them flat.
For the nest, iron on both sides, but not enough to deform the central slot. Do not
flatten; the curl produced by the heat makes it nest shape!
Quantities
All the pattern pieces are in the correct quantities except the cygnets. You will need 8 of
these. (When those eggs crack, Mummy and Daddy Swan will be even busier parents than
us!)
Make the two base plate pieces on 2 interlocking boards with the pond to the left.
This pattern set was produced in memory of our baby boy Freddie, who was born the day
after the original design was made by Maddy. If you have purchased it, at the cost of £1,
that money is donated in goods and memorial gifts, to Hinchingbrooke SCBU unit who cared
for him during his short life.
Thank you.
