Ironing Beads patterns Flowers
With ironing beads you can make fun decorations! It's really not just for kids, you know! Adults can also spend hours on it, it's just very fun to do and you have a nice result after ironing! Especially on a rainy day it is nice to be focused on. It's relaxing, that's for sure! For the children it is also good for the fine motor skills, and a fun challenge to “read” and make a pattern. Not only for girls laying iron beads is fun, but also boys like to lay tough patterns.
Ironing beads are plastic beads that you put on a bottom plate in a pattern. When the pattern is laid, put ironing paper over it (baking paper can also be done). Because of the heat of the iron, the beads melt together!
The bottom plates can be bought in many different shapes and sizes. But with the base plates you can actually go all directions. The base plates are square (2 sizes), round (2 sizes), hexagon, heart and star. The bottom plates are always usable, when the pattern is ironed and the are removed from the plate. The beads are, once ironed and melted, of course no longer usable. The beads are available in all colors you can think of, there are even glitter beads, transparent beads, fluorescent and even glow-in-the-dark beads.
Patterns can be found on the internet, but you can also look at Yoors here. Soon many more (homemade) patterns will be added. Here you will find some patterns to make flowers. You can also come up with your own flowers, but for those who like to lay from a pattern, patterns are more convenient. Once you are busy, you will get new ideas and you will come up with variations yourself. Lots of ironing beads fun!
What can you do with it? you might think. Initially you will think of coasters, but you can also think of: making mobile, pasting on cards, pendants with a bouquet of flowers, pasting on boxes, mirrors, lampshades, vases, flower pots, window hangers, garlands, picture frames, paintings, fridge magnets, wreaths, and all kinds of other decorative things.
