#4 Fuse Your Beads!

Now you have a finished design.

In this tutorial you will be melting your beads directly on the pegboard. If you want to remove your design from the pegboard before melting, please take a look at the Tape Method.

Grab your (waterless) iron and parchment paper. Heat the iron to a medium setting and tear off a piece of parchment paper large enough to cover the whole project. When your iron reaches temp, place the paper over your design and use your iron to heat the beads. Move the iron in circular patterns, and be sure to not stop moving your iron. Continue this for about 10-15 seconds until the beads have melted together. You can lift up the parchment paper to check the melt. Be sure to keep your iron flat and not to touch the plastic pegboard with the iron.
