You Will Need (7 things)

  • 9 Perler Beads percharm

    first make a three by three little square

    Next,iron each square for about a minute each on medium to high heat or until smooth.

    Now that you have a smooth little square color in the section of the stamp you want with a permanent marker. (or you can try your hand at freehand in witch case skip this and the next step)

    Press the stamp pad to the square and color in any parts that didn't get stamped right.
