Instructions
Step 1
Download/print the PDF for the project patterns. Place your beads, following the patterns.
Step 2
You will also need:
Wooden container
Jars with lid, sized to fit wooden container
Vinyl alphabet and paw print
Craft glue
Step 3
Ask an adult to fuse your design. Place your pegboard on a flat, heat-safe surface. Set a household iron to the medium setting. Place ironing paper over the pegboard and bead design. In a circular motion, begin to iron the design. 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 pegboard 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
Use craft glue to attach the animal designs to the wooden container.
Step 6
Apply the vinyl letters and paw print to the wooden container.
