You will also need:

Double-sided tape or craft glue
Step 2
Download the PDF for the Puppy Frame Project Pattern. You will use the puppy and large square pegboards to create your project. 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: Attach your photo to your frame using double sided tape.
Step 6
Attach your puppy project to the frame using double sided tape or craft glue.
Step 7
Slide the 2 frame tabs up through the slots in the bottom of the frame so your frame will stand up.
