How to Iron Your Perler Bead Creation
To make your bead picture stick together, you will iron it while it is still on the pegboard until the beads melt together. Be careful that you do not overdo it, else the beads become flattened and lose their center hole. Watch this video to see how it's done. Some people will only iron one side, but I find it sticks together better if you iron both sides.
