Instructions
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:
Coordinating cardstock, minimum size of 8.5" x 11"
Coordinating ribbon, 3/8" wide
Craft glue
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. 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
Cut the template from page 2 of the pattern sheet. Solid lines represent cut lines and dotted lines represent fold lines. Transfer the template onto the cardstock and cut out the holder.
Step 6
Score all of the fold lines then assemble the holder, using a small amount of craft glue to hold sections together. Fold the outer flaps inward along the fold lines and attach them to the back of the Perler daisy using a small amount of craft glue.
Step 7
Cut an 8" length of the ribbon. Attach to the inside of the opening with craft glue.
