Instructions

Step 1
MINI BEAD COLORS NEEDED:
Yellow - 975
Kiwi Lime - 1442
White - 719

YOU WILL ALSO NEED:
Mini beads pegboard
Mini Beads tweezers
Iron and ironing paper
Sheet of thin cork
Glue gun
See the Supply List for beads and tools you can purchase.

Step 2
CREATING THE DESIGN:
Download the PDF for the Mini Beads Lemon-Lime Coasters Project Pattern. Slide the actual-size pattern underneath the pegboard and 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:
Cut cork squares to the same size as the coasters and hot glue in place (adults only, please).
