What You’ll Need:

1. Orange iron-on beads (for the face).

2. Black beads (for eyes, mouth, or other features).

6. Iron.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Plan Your Design

Sketch a simple round face with features on paper, or design it directly on the pegboard.

Choose a cute or funny expression (e.g., smiling, winking, or surprised).

2. Build the Base

Place orange beads on the pegboard to form a circle. Leave room in the middle for the facial features.

3. Add Features

Use black beads to create eyes, a nose, and a mouth.

Add white beads for highlights in the eyes or to make teeth if your design has a big smile.

4. Prepare for Ironing

Lay a sheet of parchment paper over the beads to protect them from direct heat.

5. Iron the Beads

Preheat your iron to a medium setting (no steam).

Place the iron on the parchment paper and move it in circular motions for 10-20 seconds until the beads fuse slightly.

Check often to avoid over-melting.

6. Cool and Remove

Let the beads cool for 1-2 minutes, then carefully peel off the parchment paper.

Remove the design from the pegboard.

7. Optional: Strengthen the Design

Flip the face over, cover the back with parchment paper, and lightly iron for added durability.
