Step 1
Download/print the PDF for the project patterns. If you are using a clear pegboard, slide the actual-size patterns underneath it. Place your beads, following the patterns.

Step 2
You will also need:
Caribbean Sea textured cardstock, 12" x 12".
Apple green cardstock, 12" x 12"
White cardstock, 12" x 12"
Double-sided tape
craft glue

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 and bead design. In a circular motion, begin to iron the design. 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 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. Additional heating time may be required.

Step 5
Cut a 4 _" x 11 _" piece of the Caribbean Sea cardstock. Fold in half longwise to create a 4 _" x 5 _" top-folding card.

Step 6
Cut a 4 _" x 5 _" piece of the apple green cardstock. Use double-sided tape to secure to the card front.

Step 7
Cut a 4 _" x 5 _" piece of the white cardstock. Attach to the card front using double-sided tape.

Step 8
Attach the Perler design to the card front with a small amount of craft glue. Note: If intending to mail the card, it may require additional postage due to thickness. ItŐs best to check with your local post office before mailing.
