NOTE: You will need 2 bags of green beads.1. Download the Fun Pencil Box Project Pattern. Assemble TWO large square pegboards as shown on the pattern. If you’re using clear pegboards, slide the actual-size pattern underneath them. Now place all the beads for your project. The full size pattern shows just the needed portion of the pegboards.
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.
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 pegboards and ironing paper are reusable.
4. Glue the layers in order to the green base, aligning color stripes. When you get to layer 3, you will need to work in pieces to leave the slots for the ribbon.
5. Cut two lengths of ribbon to work as your hinges. Insert the ribbon pieces through the slots. Align the lid with the color stripes of the assembled box. Insert each ribbon end from inside the box through the appropriate slot in the lid. Tie each in a bow. You’re done!
