Step 2
CREATING THE DESIGN:
Download the PDF for the Outer Space Project Pattern. If you are using a clear pegboard, slide the actual-size pattern underneath it. 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 10-20 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
DISPLAY IDEAS:
Adhere your finished designs to an outer space themed poster.
Attach fishing line hangers and hang from the ceiling or make into a mobile.
