Step 2
CREATING THE DESIGN:
Download the PDF for the Mini Beads Reindeer Ornaments Project Pattern. Slide the actual-size pattern under your clear 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. Be especially attentive to the reindeer's antlers. NOTE: Mini Beads need heat for about 10 seconds per side to fuse evenly 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:
Using gold wire, create a hanger through a bead or between beads near the top of the antlers. See the photo for reference.
