Fuse Bead Snowflake Magnets
Materials:
*Fuse beads kit
*Magnetic backing
*Adhesive (if your magnetic backing does not have an adhesive or has a weak adhesive)
*Scissors
*Iron
Directions:
*Select the appropriate peg board for the snowflake you would like to make. Choose a color scheme for your snowflake, then arrange the beads on the peg board in the pattern shown below:
*If you would like a stronger magnet, you may want to fill in the empty pegs with a neural color so that you will be able to add a larger piece of magnet to the back of the snowflake.
*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 strips of magnetic backing and adhere them to the back of the snowflake. If using glue to adhere the magnetic backing, let dry before placing the magnet on the refrigerator.
