Display in a shadow box frame for a gallery-quality finish.

Ironing Tips
- ๐กMedium heat only โ too hot and the beads over-melt and lose shape; too cool and they won't fuse.
- ๐กKeep the iron moving in slow circles โ staying in one spot melts that area flat.
- ๐กIron both sides and press under a heavy book while cooling to keep it flat.
