How to iron:

1. Turn on the iron at a high setting.

2. Place the ironing paper on top of the beads while still on the board. Note that folds will leave a small mark down the finished piece.

3. Iron the beads until there is a wide but thin lip. This usually takes less than 10 seconds.

4. Flip the board over, remove it, and iron the other side.



I would recommend creating a few scraps to test the thickness, and to try interlocking the pieces.



I would also recommend ironing each piece individually, for the following reasons:

* It will be easier to clean up and fix if the board is accidentally dropped

* Ironing multiple pieces at a time can cause one to become too flat and become unusable; or not receive enough heat and fall apart.
