Step 2
Download the PDF for the Rainbow and Pot of Gold Project Pattern. You will use the large circle, small circle and small square pegboards to create your project. 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 the beads as it will make the centers of the beads close and can make assembly 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 step two. 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: Pot of Gold: Glue or lace the pieces together in the order shown, starting from the bottom (A) to the top (H).

Step 6
String 26 black beads onto a chenille stem. Loop this through the top base and twist to close. Tie the rings onto the sides. Fill your pot with gold beads or gold coins.

Step 7
Rainbow: Place the rainbow into the slots in the clouds. Glue the butterflies onto the rainbow.
