Step 2
Download the PDF for the Keepsake Box Project Pattern. You will use the large square pegboard for your project. If you're using a clear pegboard, slide the actual-size pattern underneath it. 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. 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: Join the side pieces to form the box by aligning the tabs and slots.

Step 6
Again aligning the tabs and slots, press the bottom piece onto the box.

Step 7
Glue the two layers of the knob together, then insert one row into the opening in the lid as shown.
