Biggie Beads: A is for Apple

Learning the alphabet? Then let's start with A is for Apple! Our Biggie Beads are ideal for small hands, and they help to develop fine motor skills and color identification.

Instructions

Step 1
Biggie Bead Colors Needed:
Magenta - 48
Kiwi Lime - 6
Light Blue - 74
See the Supply List for beads and tools you can purchase.

Step 2
Download the PDF for the Biggie Beads: A is for Apple Project Pattern. You will use the Biggie Beads pegboard to create your project. Slide the actual-size pattern underneath the pegboard, then 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. 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 20-30 seconds per side to fuse evenly. Lift the paper occasionally to see how the beads are fusing. Additional heating time may be required.
