Step 2
CREATING THE DESIGN:
Download the PDF for the Mini Beads Koi Pond Project Pattern. Connect 4 boards in a square for your project. Slide the actual-size pattern underneath them. Place your beads as shown.
Step 3
FUSING THE DESIGN:
An adult should do this step.
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. NOTE: Beads need heat for about 10 seconds per side to fuse evenly, it is possible some colors may need a little more time. Let the design cool.
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. When the design is cool, peel off the ironing paper. Your pegboards and ironing paper are reusable.
Step 4
ASSEMBLY:
To display on a wall, choose an 8" x 8" frame with a coordinating mat. Mount the design onto the mat with a glue gun.
