How to make this craft step-by-step:
Materials:
- Black iron beads for eyes, white for teeth, flesh-colored for face (available only in the bead set ref 16154), and for the fur, we used pastel colors (ref 16155), but you can vary the colors!
- Key rings (+ 1 jewelry pliers to open and close the key ring)
- Pom-poms
- 5 mm square pegboard
- Precision pliers to pick up the beads
- Iron + baking paper
Step 1
Download the template under the main photo.
Place the template under the square transparent plate.
Step 2: Place the beads following the pattern
Start positioning the beads at the top of the base and work your way down row by row.
For more comfort:
If you are right-handed, move from left to right.
If you are left-handed, do the opposite: from right to left.
Time-saving tip: sort the beads by color before you begin, it will greatly ease the creation of the pattern.
Step 3: Continue Placing the Beads
Continue filling in the pattern by following the template under the board.
Take your time to position each bead correctly on the corresponding peg.
Step 4: Your monster's head is complete, well done!
Now it's time for ironing the beads to secure the pattern.
Caution: this step must be performed by an adult.
It requires the use of an iron and may present a burn hazard.
Step 5: Attach the beads with an iron
Gently place a sheet of baking paper (or ironing paper) over the bead design.
Then, with the help of an adult:
1- Set the iron to maximum temperature (without steam).
2- Iron slowly using circular motions or applying light pressure.
3- Iron several times if necessary, until all the beads start to melt and adhere well to each other.
Wait a few minutes for the beads to cool completely, then gently remove the design from the plate.
Step 6: Attach the keyring
Once the design has cooled down, open the keyring and insert it into a bead located at the top of one of the character's ears.
If the hole of the bead has disappeared during ironing, use the tip of a pen or a large needle to gently reopen it.
Tip: turn gently to avoid damaging the bead.
Step 7: Add a Colorful Finishing Touch
Slide a matching pompom that matches the color of your monster into the keychain ring. Once in place, secure the ring tightly with a jewelry plier.
Personalization Tip: You can also add a small charm or decorative bead to further personalize your creation!
Step 8
Your monster keychain is ready to be attached to a bag, pencil case, or given as a gift.
And why not create others in different colors to make a lovely collection ?
