3D Chair
Create this easy chair to add to your dollhouse furniture made of Perler Beads. Assembly is done with a simple tab/slot technique and clear lacing.
Step: 1
Bead Colors Needed:
- Light Pink - 104
- Plum - 92
- Purple - 4
- White - 106
See the Supply List for beads and tools you can purchase here. You will also need:
- 18 inches of clear lacing
Step: 2
Download the PDF for the 3D Chair Project Pattern. You will use the small square pegboard for your project. If you are using a clear pegboard, slide the actual-size pattern underneath it. Now, 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 step two. 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: Use the clear lacing (shown here in black) to attach the back cushion to the chair back.
Step: 6
Lace the chair cushion to the seat.
Step: 7
Assemble the pieces of the chair by sliding the notches into the slots.
