Supplies:

- Perler bead ironing paper
- Small bead tweezers
- 8oz tall skinny Mason jars
How do you make Perler beads bracelets?
- Step 1. Use your bead tweezers to carefully pick up one bead at a time and place it onto your pegboard. You’ll want the beads to stay in a space of 29 beads long and 3 beads wide.
- Step 2. Use your beads to make a pattern into your long and skinny space.
- Step 3. Once your bead pattern is finished, carefully place a piece of ironing paper over top the beads. Iron without any water or steam for several seconds or until you can see the beads start to fuse together.
- Step 4. Remove the iron and carefully pull the paper back off the pegboard. Make sure to do this step very careful as this will be hot. Peal the beads off the paper and immediately press around the Mason jar.
- Step 5. Once your beads have cooled to the touch, remove from the Mason jar. Place the two ends together overlapping and hold until completely cooled.
- Step 6. Once cooled, the bracelets will be ready to wear! It is that simple. Just be careful that you do not remove too soon.
They must cool completely to hold their shape properly.
