Instructions

Step 1
BEAD COLORS NEEDED:
Pink - 696
Toothpaste - 519
Clear Blue - 102
Grey - 157
White - 447

YOU WILL ALSO NEED:
Large square pegboard
Iron and ironing paper
Tweezers
Ribbons for hangers
Craft glue
See the Supply List for beads and tools you can purchase.

Step 2
CREATING THE DESIGN:
Download the PDF for the Easter Egg Ornaments Project Pattern. If you are using a clear pegboard, slide the actual-size pattern underneath it. Place your beads as shown.

Step 3
FUSING THE DESIGN: An adult should do this step.
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. NOTE: Beads need heat for about 10-20 seconds per side to fuse evenly, it is possible some colors may need a little more time. Let the design cool.

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. When the design is cool, peel off the ironing paper. Your pegboards and ironing paper are reusable.

Step 4
ASSEMBLY:
Cut ribbons to the desired length for the hangers. Loop the ribbon through the opening at the top of the egg and tie ends in a knot. Tie bows and glue to the top of the egg.
