Creating the Santa Sunshine Design:

Prepare Your Workspace:
Set up a clean, well-lit workspace. Organize your beads by colour for easy access.
Follow the Pattern:
Using the pattern template as your guide, place each bead onto the pegboard according to the design. Start with Santa’s hat using red beads, then move on to the suns face.

Ironing and Fusion:

Cover with Ironing Paper:
Once your design is complete, cover it with ironing paper to protect the beads.
Apply Heat:
Using a medium-heated iron, gently apply pressure in a circular motion over the ironing paper. Be sure to melt the beads together without overheating.
Cooling Period:
Allow your creation to cool completely before handling. This ensures that the beads fuse properly. You can also flip the design over and iron the back whilst protected with paper so ensure it is fully fused.

Once cooled, your Santa Sunshine Perler Bead creation is ready to be displayed. Whether you hang it on your Christmas tree, use it as a festive coaster, or gift it to a loved one, this cheerful design is sure to spread joy and warmth throughout the holiday season.
