Step 2
Download the PDF for the Ornament Gift Tags Project Pattern. You will use the large square, large hexagon, and small 5-pointed star pegboards to create your projects. If you are using a clear pegboard, slide the actual-size pattern underneath it. Place your beads following the pattern.

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. DO NOT OVER-IRON as this will cause the beads to close and can make assembly of your project more challenging. 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: Print the tags from the project sheet onto white cardstock and cut them out.

Step 6
Apply a line of glue on the back of each Perler ornament as shown. Press the glued side onto the tag.

Step 7
Cut a 10 inch length of thin cord and lace it through the ornament. Tie the ends in a knot.

Step 8
Use a chalk writer or metallic pen to add the To/From names. Tie the tag onto your gift.
