Imagine a baby grand piano in the parlor of your doll house! You can create one with Perler Beads. This piano looks so real you can almost hear the music playing…
Step 1
Bead Colors Needed:
Yellow - 3
Black - 329
White - 23
See the Supply List for beads and tools you can purchase.
You will also need:
1 yard of clear lacing
Step 2
Download the PDF for the 3D Piano Project Pattern. You will use the small square pegboard for your project. If you are using a clear pegboard, slide the actual-size pattern underneath it. Now, place all the beads for the design.
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: Use the clear lacing (shown here in grey) to attach together the bottom layer, keyboard layer, and lid.
Step 6
Take the two sections of each leg, turn them at right angles to each other, and slide them together.
Step 7
Turn the assembled piano piece so the bottom is face up. Insert the legs into the slots of the bottom layer. Turn piano right side up.
