This colorful butterfly surely lives at the edge of the rainbow! You can hang it in a window as a suncatcher, or use a magnet to display it on the fridge.

Instructions

Step 1
Bead Colors Needed:
Magenta - 32
Orange - 32
Cheddar - 44
Kiwi Lime - 52
Pastel Blue - 58
Purple - 52
See the Supply List for beads and tools you can purchase.

Step 2
Download the PDF for the Butterfly Project Pattern. You will use the butterfly pegboard for your project. Place all the beads for the design.

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. 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.
