Create unique designs and patterns with our NEW Fuse Beads. Search tons of fun fuse bead patterns online and recreate them with our kits. Make fun 8-bit characters or charms for jewelry with the bright plastic beads. This simple and easy-to-clean craft is a great choice for a quick project to do when you have some spare time. You can find sets of 1800 and 3000 pieces so you’ll have plenty of beads to design with. You can also choose between using the fun shaped pegboards to create completely unique designs. Place your pegboard on a flat, heat-safe surface.
Arrange the beads on your pegboard in your chosen design
Set a household iron to the medium setting - 200 degrees celsius.
Place parchment/wax paper (folded over so there is a non-stick surface for both the bead design and the hot iron surface) over the pegboard and place iron down onto the bead design and hold for 10-20 seconds. Do not push down the design. Let the design cool.
Remove the paper and the bead design from the board and flip the design over to expose the non-fused side. If the design does not come off easily or is not sticking together - apply the iron again and repeat step 4 on the side that isnt fused.
In a circular motion, begin to iron the project. Do not press down on the design. When ironed properly, the beads will stick together and still have an open center.
