3. Fusing the Beads (Adult Supervision Required):
   • Set a household iron to a medium heat setting (no steam).
   • Gently iron over the ironing paper in a circular motion for approximately 10-20 seconds, or until the beads are fused together. The heat will melt the tops of the beads, connecting them.
   • Allow the design to cool slightly.
4. Removing the Design: Carefully remove the ironing paper. Once cooled, gently lift the fused bead design from the pegboard. If the beads are not fully fused, place the ironing paper back and iron for a few more seconds.

• Pegboard warping:

  Warping can occur if the pegboard is exposed to excessive heat or stored improperly. Always use ironing paper between the iron and the beads. Store the pegboard flat and away from heat sources. If minor warping occurs, sometimes placing a heavy, flat object on it while it cools can help.

  This can happen if the beads are over-ironed or if the ironing paper is not suitable. Use genuine Hama ironing paper or high-quality parchment paper. Allow the design to cool slightly before attempting to remove the paper.
