To use this Hama bead set, first pick a design from the color - printed sheet. Then, place the corresponding pegboard on a flat surface. Start arranging the beads on the pegboard following the design. Once you're happy with your creation, cover it with the ironing paper. Use a warm iron to carefully press the paper. This will melt the beads together. Remember to keep the iron moving to avoid overheating. When it comes to maintenance, store the beads in a dry place to prevent them from getting damp. Also, keep the pegboards and design sheets away from sharp objects to avoid damage. This set is for ages 5 and up, so adult supervision is recommended for younger kids.
