Instructions

1. Place your beads on the pegboard
as shown. If you are using a clear
pegboard, slide the actual-size
patterns underneath it.
NOTE: MAKE 2 OF EACH
PIECE except #1 for the
double spinner shown at top.
For a single spinner as shown
below, make 1 of each piece,
using half as many beads.
2. Ask an adult to fuse your
designs—see page 2 for further
instructions.
3. Assembly: see page 6.

Fusing Instructions—Only Adults Iron
1. Place your pegboard on a flat, heat-safe surface.
2. S et a household iron to the medium setting. Place ironing paper over the
pegboard. In a circular motion, begin to iron the project. Do not press down
with the iron. As the beads begin to fuse, you will see circles of the beads start
to show through the paper. When ironed properly, the beads will still have an
open center. Let the design cool.
3. R
emove the paper and bead design from the peg board. Flip the design over to
expose the non-fused side. Repeat step two. Weight under a heavy book and
let cool completely.
NOTE: Beads need heat for about 10-20 seconds per side to fuse evenly. Lift the paper occasionally to see how the beads are fusing.
Depending on the size of the project, additional heating time may be required. DO NOT OVER-IRON the beads as it will make the
centers of the beads close and can make the assembly you do with your project more challenging.

ASSEMBLY
1. Tie a large knot in the end of the cord. It should be big enough so that it doesn't pull through
the openings in the pieces.
2. Thread the pieces through the center holes in order from bottom (piece 30) to top (piece 1),
then in reverse order from piece 2 to piece 30. Leave plenty of cord at the top and create a
temporary hanging loop.
3. You will probably need the help of another person for this step. Suspend the threaded spinner
so that you can position the individual pieces: fan each piece about 1/2" in a clockwise
direction from the previous piece. Do a few pieces to determine if that is the spacing you like
and adjust if needed. Work through the entire spinner to see the effect. Once you have the
final positioning, spot glue the layers together.
4. Create a strong hanger at the top to finish. You can display the finished spinner either inside
or outside.
