NOTE: If you are making all 22 emojis, you will need 2 bags of yellow beads.

Step 2
Download the Emojis Project Pattern. You will use the small square and small heart pegboards for your projects. If you are using clear pegboards, slide the actual-size patterns underneath them. Place your beads on the pegboards as shown.

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.

Step 4
Remove the paper and bead design from the pegboard. Flip the design over to expose the non-fused side. Repeat step two. 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. Depending on the iron and size of the project, additional heating time may be required.

Step 5
Optional: You can use clear adhesive dots that let you stick and remove your emojis as you please.
