Keep the iron moving in circles β€” never park it in one spot. Cover with parchment paper, iron one side, flip carefully, iron the other.

Ironing Tips

  • πŸ’‘Medium heat only β€” too hot and the beads over-melt and lose shape; too cool and they won't fuse.
  • πŸ’‘Keep the iron moving in slow circles β€” staying in one spot melts that area flat.
  • πŸ’‘Iron both sides and press under a heavy book while cooling to keep it flat.
