FAQs
Are these beads safe for children?
Yes, the beads are PVC-free and developed in the Netherlands to meet strict safety standards, though they are not suitable for children under 3 years due to small parts.
Can I mix these with other brands of beads?
Yes, these beads are compatible with other major iron-on bead brands.
What is the best way to store 8,000 beads?
We recommend using a multi-compartment craft organizer box to keep the 28 colors separated.
Do I need a special iron for this set?
A standard household iron works perfectly; simply use the medium heat setting.
How do I make the beads glow in the dark?
The glow-in-the-dark beads absorb light during the day. Place your finished project under a bright lamp or in sunlight to 'charge' them for a glowing effect at night.
Can I reuse the pegboards?
Yes, the pegboards are designed to be reused indefinitely as long as they are not damaged by direct heat.
Troubleshooting
Beads are not fusing together
Ensure the iron is set to a medium temperature and apply consistent, light pressure for longer.
Beads are warping or melting too much
Reduce the heat on your iron and shorten the amount of time the iron remains in contact with the beads.
Pegboard is bending or melting
The iron was in direct contact with the pegboard. Always use parchment paper as a barrier and never touch the iron directly to the pegs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure you are working on a flat, heat-resistant surface. Arrange your beads on the selected pegboard according to your chosen pattern. Once finished, place a sheet of ironing paper (not included) or parchment paper over the beads. Gently press the iron over the paper in circular motions until the beads are fused together. Allow the design to cool completely before removing it from the pegboard to prevent warping.
- Compatibility: These beads fit standard iron-on bead systems.
- Storage: Keep beads sorted by color in airtight containers to prevent mixing.
- Safety: Always store the iron away from reach after use and perform the ironing stage in a well-ventilated area.
