How to iron your Hama beads
If you use the Hama Beads in a classic way by mounting the beads on a bead pegboard, the next step is to iron the beads to complete the figure. When you iron the beads, they melt into one solid figure. When you used this method, you can reuse the pegboard, and use it for new patterns, animals, plants or other figures.
To keep your iron clean, you can use the special ironing paper from Hama. You can buy a pack of 3 pieces of ironing paper, but as a tip, you can also use plain baking paper for the Hama beads.
