FROM BOX TO FINISHED PIECE

Make it right,
one move at a time.

Tap any action to see the real tools, bead scale, and hand movement. Your printed kit guide contains the heat setting calibrated for your materials.

Set up

Put the real-size pattern under the board.

Set the printed, actual-size pattern beneath the clear 50 × 50 mini pegboard. Sort only the colors you need into shallow trays and work on a flat, heat-safe surface.

Ready whenThe printed grid lines up with the pegs and the board cannot slide.

Heat is the adult part. This DIY kit is for ages 14+. Work on a heat-safe surface, turn steam off, keep the iron moving, and never place it directly on beads or pegboard. The kit does not include a household iron.
