What you need:
fuse beads,
pegboard,
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
and iron them 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 picture from the pegboard.
You can leave your picture like that. But you can fuse the beads on the back as well. Just cover the back with greaseproof paper and start ironing again.
You can use the pictures as window decoration or hang them at the wall. You can also combine several pictures into a mobile.
