Food Truck Photo Frame

Food Truck Photo Frame

Capture all the memories and commemorate a fun day at a summer carnival with this unique photo frame made with Perler fuse beads.

Instructions

Step 1
Download/print the PDF for the project pattern. If you are using a clear pegboard, slide the actual-size patterns underneath it. Place your beads, following the pattern.

Step 2
You will also need:
Photo sized to fit the opening in the food truck
Craft glue

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 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.

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. 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
Glue the awning piece on top of the awning on the food truck.

Step 6
Glue your photo to the back of the food truck. (Optional: Use tape to secure the photo.)

Step 7
Insert the food truck into the base as shown on the pattern sheet.
