1. Download the 3-D Sleigh and Reindeer Project Pattern. Use the large square pegboard for your project. If you’re using a clear pegboard, slide the actual-size pattern underneath it. Place all the beads for the design.

2. Cover the completed design with the ironing paper. Keeping the iron level, gently iron the beads in a circular motion for about 10 seconds to fuse the beads evenly. Ironed properly, the beads will still have an open center. On a 3-D project such as this, DO NOT OVER-IRON the beads as it will make the centers of the beads close and can make assembly difficult. Warning: Parents—the ironing must be done by an adult only. Some irons may emit steam. Please keep children at a safe distance.

3. Once the design is cool, peel off the ironing paper. Lift your design from the pegboard; flip the design over and repeat step #2. Your pegboard and ironing paper are reusable.

4. Assembly: Insert the black spacer into the reindeer’s side slot.


5. Align the partner reindeer as shown, and insert the other end of the spacer into the slot. Repeat for all four sets of reindeer.


6. Assemble the sleigh in the same manner as the reindeer using the spacers and slots.


7. Add Santa to his sleigh by hooking his arm over the side of the sleigh to hold him in.


If you wish, connect the reindeer to Santa’s sleigh using string for the reins.
