You will also need:
Glitter: silver or gold

Step 2
Download the PDF for the Glittered Trees Project Pattern. You will use the large square and large hexagon pegboards to create your projects. If you are using a clear pegboard, slide the actual-size pattern underneath it. Place your beads following the patterns.

Step 3
Before fusing, sprinkle glitter lightly on the ornament. You can sprinkle all over or make dots of glitter, then cover with ironing paper.

Step 4
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. DO NOT OVER-IRON as this will cause the beads to close and can make assembly of your project more challenging. Let the design cool.

Step 5
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 6
ASSEMBLY: Insert bottoms of tree trunks into stands. The square stands are used for the tallest trees.
