Instructions
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:
Clear plastic 2pc ornament, 4", one for each design
Hot glue or craft glue
Candlesticks
Step 3
Ask an adult to fuse your design. 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. 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 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.
Step 5
Separate the pieces of the plastic ornament. Use glue to secure the fuse bead design inside the plastic ornament, positioning it so that the hanger hole in the ornament is facing downward (this way the hanger hole will be hidden when you place the ornament on the candlestick).
Step 6
Snap the ornament together and position it on top of the candlestick for display.
