Materials needed: A household iron, 1 sheet reusable ironing paper and a heavy flat object (book or similar).
Step 1: Place the beaded art on a heat safe surface.
Step 2: Place the ironing paper over the beads.
Step 3: Set the iron on medium heat (two dots).
Step 4: Iron the beads lightly until they stick together.
Step 5: Carefully remove the beaded art from the pegboard. We suggest you use an oven mitt when touching the pegboard – it gets warm!
Step 6: Continue ironing the beads on the same side as before, so that they stick together nicely.
Step 7: Place a flat, heavy object on top of the beads and leave to cool.
Done! 😀
Important information
- Temperature can vary between different irons. First, try on a smaller project to find the right setting for your iron.
- Ironing should be done by an adult, keep the children at a safe distance. Keep in mind that the melted beads are warm.
- Make sure the iron is set to “dry” not “steam”. Hot steam can affect the fixation of the beads.
- NABBI Jumbo beads require a longer ironing time.
- NABBI BioBeads are more heat sensitive than standard NABBI beads, so we do not recommend ironing the beads together.
