Skater Dino Girl
Step: 1
Bead Colors Needed:
- Light Pink - 1
- Pink - 42
- Kiwi Lime - 116
- Black - 1
- Cucumber Stripe - 46
- Zebra Stripe - 13
See the Supply List for beads and tools you can purchase here. You will also need:
- Embroidery floss
Step: 2
Download the PDF for the Skater Dino Girl Project Pattern. You will use the dinosaur pegboard to create your projects. Place your beads following the pattern.
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 the fusing. 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: To create the helmet strap, thread the needle with embroidery floss. (Note: if smaller children are making this project, an adult will want to do this step). Insert the needle at the bottom of the helmet as shown. Tie the thread ends in a knot or a bow, then trim the excess.
