Fuse Beads....

[CharityLynn]

I'm sure you guys know what these are, if not, they are beads you place on a pegboard and then iron over to make a creation (for lack of a better word lol)

My questions is: Ours are warping a bit is there any way to fix this or to keep it from happening on future ones?

TIA,

Do you iron both sides? Also, we place ours between books while they are still warm to make sure they cool flat.

We got our first lot from Ikea and they were terrible - all different sizes, so it was really hard to get them all to fuse as there would be a couple of short ones which fell out when you took the board off. If you're using a named brand have a look at their website and see if they have any tips.

Oh goodness this brings back memories of summer camp.

Let them cool flat - if you handle too much, they'll warp

Be sure you're melting the ironing side enough and it won't hurt to put a LITTLE heat on the front but keeping it flat is most important
