You will also need:

See the Supply List for beads and tools you can purchase.

Step 2
Download the PDF for the 4-Letter Valentines Project Pattern. If you are using a clear pegboard, slide the actual-size pattern underneath it. Place your beads following the patterns.

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 the fusing. 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: Attach self-adhesive magnets to the back of each design to display on a locker or refrigerator.
