Step 2
Download the PDF for the Good Ghost, Bad Ghost Project Pattern. You will use the small circle and daisy pegboards to create your projects. If you are using a clear pegboard, slide the actual-size pattern underneath it. Place your beads following the pattern.
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. 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 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 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: Create eyeholes on the front of the sheet as you normally would so that the wearer can see. Working around the eyeholes, attach the pieces to create a bad ghost face.
Step 6
You can use either adhesive foam or sew the pieces in place with a needle and thread. Have the wearer try the costume on and mark with a pencil where you want to position the good ghost face on the back. Add the pieces on the back in a similar way as the front.
