Step: 2
Download the PDF for the Scary Ghosties Project Pattern. You will use the large square pegboard for your projects. If you are using a clear pegboard, slide the actual-size pattern underneath it. 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: Wrap each length of wire around a pencil to create a spring approximately 3-4 inches long.

Step: 6
Ask an adult to help push the spring ends through the designs and feet as shown.

Step: 7
Slide the feet onto the tombstone. Then slide the tombstone into the slot in the base.
