Instructions
Step 1
Bead Colors Needed:
Magenta - 396
Light Green - 144
Black - 454
See the Supply List for beads and tools you can purchase.
You will also need:
Photo
Clear tape
Keychains - 2
Step 2
Download the PDF for the My BFF Frame and Keychains Project Pattern. You will use the large square pegboard for your project. If you are using a clear pegboard, slide the actual-size pattern underneath it. Place the beads for the project.
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: The frame will hold a 3 1/4 inch square photo. Cut your photo to size and tape to the back of the frame. Loop keychains through the open hole in the BFF designs and share one with your best friend.
