Step 2
Download the PDF for the School Time Project Pattern. You will use the large circle and a small square pegboard to create your clock. 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: Glue together the 3 parts of the clock.
Step 6
Glue the numbers to the inside circle and the decorations to the outside of the clock.
Step 7
Glue together the bases of the clock, then glue to the clock.
Step 8
Follow the general assembly instructions provided with your clock movement to insert it into your Perler clock project.
