  • I Love Mom and Dad

    Designed By The Perler Design Team

    Perfect for a birthday, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, or any day! This cool photo display is easy to create with Perler Beads and includes letters for both Mom and Dad.

Directions:

# Beads Needed:
Bubblegum - 46
Kiwi Lime - 254
Pastel Blue - 152
Periwinkle Blue - 398
Pastel Lavender - 188
White - 364

1. Download the I Love Mom and Dad Project Pattern. Use the large and small square pegboards for your project. For the large piece, assemble TWO large pegboards side by side. Cut out the individual halves of the chart and tape them together so that you can see the whole design at once. If you’re using clear pegboards, slide the actual-size pattern underneath them. Now place all the beads for your project.

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.

Assembly:
4. Tie a length of ribbon through the holes on either side of the large panel to create a hanger.
