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

Step 2
You will also need:
Round clear jar with screw-top lid, 3" diameter x 5" high
Coordinating decorative cord, 36" length
Water (distilled water recommended)
Glycerin or baby oil
Glitter (optional)
Hot glue gun

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
Thoroughly clean and dry the jar and lid.

Step 6
Assemble the fused design components as shown on the pattern sheet. Hot glue the assembly to the inside of the jar lid.

Step 7
Fill the jar with water and add glycerin or baby oil (ratio is 3 teaspoons per 1 cup of water). Add about 2 teaspoons of glitter if desired.

Step 8
Place the lid on the jar, making sure the lid is tight. Run a line of hot glue around the bottom edge of the lid where it meets the jar.

Step 9
Wrap the cord around the edge of the lid and secure it with hot glue. Trim any excess cord.
