Other Products Needed:

See the Supply List for beads and tools you can purchase.
Step 2
Download the PDF for the Mini Beads Hipster Cat and Dog Project Pattern. You will use 4 mini beads pegboards to create your projects. Slide the actual-size pattern underneath the pegboards and place your beads following the pattern. You will also want to use the Mini Beads Tweezers for ease in bead placement.
Step 3
An adult should fuse the 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 seconds per side to fuse evenly. Lift the paper occasionally to see how the beads are fusing. Additional heating time may be required.
