Hot Coral - 100

Pastel Yellow - 84
Tan - 150
Light Brown - 10
Brown - 10
See the Supply List for beads and tools you can purchase.

Step 2
Download the PDF for the 3D Bed Project Pattern. You will use the small square pegboard to create your project. If you are using a clear pegboard, slide the actual-size pattern underneath it. Place your beads following the pattern.

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. DO NOT OVER-IRON as this will cause the beads to close and can make assembly of your project more challenging. 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 pegboards 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. Additional heating time may be required.

Step 5
ASSEMBLY: Slide the tan tabs on the mattress into the headboard and footboard as shown by the red arrows.

Step 6
Push the sides of the quilt onto the top of the quilt by aligning the tabs and notches as shown by the yellow arrows.

Step 7
Make your bed! Put the quilt over the mattress and place the pillow at the head of the bed.
