Instructions
Step 1
Bead Colors Needed:
Light Pink - 22
Pink - 4
Tan - 40
Brown - 38
See the Supply List for beads and tools you can purchase.
You will also need:
Foam visor
Craft glue
Ribbon
Step 2
Download the PDF for the Ice Cream Visor Project Pattern. You will use the small square pegboard for your project. If you're using a clear pegboard, slide the actual-size pattern underneath it. Place all the beads for the design.
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 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: Glue ice cream cone design to the visor. Tie a length of ribbon in a bow and notch the tails. Glue to the visor at the back.
