Artkal Christmas socks tutorial
Necessary
- White and colored Artkal iron-on beads
- Square Artkal base
- Small colorful pom poms
- Hot glue
- Greaseproof paper
- Iron
Method
- Place the square base on a surface and follow the following scheme to make the Artkal socks
- Once you have created the Christmas sock, place a sheet of baking paper on top to cover the entire design. Take the iron, heat it at maximum power and iron the beads so that they blend together. Pay attention not to use the steam from the iron and not to iron them for too long to avoid melting them excessively, 5 or 10 seconds will be more than fine
- Remove the sock from the base and let it cool for a few minutes to solidify
- Using the hot glue gun, glue 3 small pom poms to the top of the Pyssla sock, near the color change area. I recommend selecting 3 pom poms of a shade matching the main color of the Christmas stocking; I chose two blue pom poms and one white which reflect the predominant shade

A simple tutorial to start becoming familiar with the versatile ironing beads.
