Step: 2
CREATING THE DESIGN:
Download the PDF for the Owl Always Love You Project Pattern. Place your beads on the pegboard following the pattern.
Step: 3
FUSING THE DESIGN: An adult should do this step.
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. NOTE: Beads need heat for about 10-20 seconds per side to fuse evenly; it is possible some colors may need a little more time. Let the design cool.
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. When the design is cool, peel off the ironing paper. Your pegboard and ironing paper are reusable.

ASSEMBLY:
Choose a message from the project sheet (or write one of your own on the blank) and cut it out. Give a little curl to the strip if desired.
Glue the top layer pieces over the main layer, tucking the message slip under the heart piece.
