You will also need:
Cardstock: assorted colors
Embroidery floss for hangers
Clear adhesive dots

Step 2
Download the 12 Days of Christmas Project Pattern. You will use the small square pegboard for your project. If you are using a clear pegboard, slide the actual-size patterns underneath it. Place your beads on the pegboard as shown.

Step 3
Ask an adult to fuse your designs. Place your pegboard on a flat, heat-safe surface. Set a household iron to the medium setting. Place ironing paper over the pegboard. In a circular motion, begin to iron the project. When ironed properly, the beads will still have open centers. Let the design cool.

Step 4
Remove the paper and bead design from the pegboard. Flip the design over to expose the non-fused side. Repeat step two. Let cool completely. Once the design is cool, peel off the ironing paper. Your pegboard and ironing paper are reusable.

Note: Beads need heat for about 10-20 seconds per side to fuse evenly. Lift the paper occasionally to see how the beads are fusing. Depending on the size of the project, additional heating time may be required.

Step 5
Assembly: For each ornament, thread an 8" piece of embroidery floss through the two top center beads and tie a knot at the back.

Cut 12 pieces of assorted cardstock colors to 3.25" square. Use glue dots to attach the cardstock to the back of each ornament.
