Fuse Bead Spring Magnets


Materials:
*Fuse Beads kit
*Magnetic backing
*Adhesive (if your magnetic backing does not have adhesive or has a weak adhesive)
*Scissors
*Iron

Directions:
*Design your Fuse Bead creations by arranging beads in the desired pattern on a peg board.  For the sodas, the sun, and the bumble bee I used the hexagonal board, for the ice cream I used the square board, for the butterfly I used the heart peg board, and for the umbrella I used the circular peg board
*Cover your beaded project with a sheet of waxed paper and iron the first side, then remove from the peg board, flip over, put waxed paper on top and iron the second side.  You can find more detailed directions here
*Cut off a small section of magnetic backing about 1" in length and about 1/4" to 1/2" inches in width
*Adhere magnetic strip to the fuse bead craft.  If using glue, let dry before placing on the refrigerator
