Step 2
Download the PDF for the Fancy Floral Necklace Project Pattern. You will use the large hexagon pegboard for your project. If you are using a clear pegboard, slide the actual-size pattern underneath it. Place the beads for the project.
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 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. Additional heating time may be required.
Step 5
ASSEMBLY: Cut your ribbon in half to make each piece 14 inches. Thread the ribbon ends from front to back through the top hole of your design where shown and pull an inch through. Glue this to the back side of the ribbon. Tie ends into a bow.
