How to use Artkal Beads?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 1: Gather the necessary materials for using Artkal Beads.
You will need the following:
- Pegboard
- Tweezers
- Ironing paper or ironing film
- Iron
- Pattern
Step 2: Follow the pattern and place the Artkal Beads on the pegboard accordingly.
Using the pattern as a guide, carefully arrange the Artkal Beads on the pegboard, ensuring they fit snugly together.
Step 3: Prepare the iron and start the melting process.
Set your iron to medium heat (between 160°C-180°C). Place the ironing paper or ironing film over the beads, making sure they are completely covered. It's important for an adult to handle the ironing process.
Hold the iron in place for about 2-3 seconds, allowing the heat to initiate the melting process. Ensure that the beads have melted together completely before moving on.
Step 4: Peel and Repeat.
Once you've ironed one side, carefully peel off the ironing paper. Flip the design over to the unironed side. You can reuse the pegboard and ironing paper/film to create more artworks in the future!
Step 5: Enjoy.
After ironing both sides, let your design cool down. Place the finished project under a book or something heavy to ensure it stays flat. And there you have it! Your beautiful pixel artwork is complete and ready to be admired and enjoyed.

Tips for Using Masking Tape with Ironing Beads:
Why do we use masking tape before ironing?
- To protect the pegboard and project: When ironing the beads on the pegboard, the high temperature can cause the pegboard to warp or become damaged. By using masking tape, we can easily remove the project from the pegboard without any harm.
- To safeguard the project itself: Larger projects are more susceptible to damage during the ironing process. However, by applying masking tape, we can provide an extra layer of protection and prevent any potential destruction.
