What you need:
fuse
beads,
round pegboards,
greaseproof paper or baking parchment,
dry iron,
optionally a pair of tweezers
Think up a motif or pattern.
You can draw the motif on squared paper as well.
Place the beads on the pegboard.
For that you can use a pair of tweezers if that is easier for
you.
When you have finished applying the beads,
preheat the iron to the medium
setting.
Put a piece of greaseproof paper on the beads (which are still on the pegboard). Iron the beads until they fuse under the paper. You can easily recognise that.
Turn off the iron and wait a minute.
The beads are quite hot now.
Peel off the greaseproof paper and remove the parts from the pegboards.
You can leave your coaster like that. But you can also melt the back.
Just turn the coaster around, cover it with greaseproof paper and iron it
again.
