1. Print out the template on page 11.

Place your pegboard on top of the template sheet, aligning the edges of the template with the edges of the pegboard.

2. Fill in the designs with iron beads.

You can use the template colours as a guide or choose your own colours to create your design. Place a sheet of ironing paper over the designs.

3. Gently iron the beads in a circular motion for about 40 seconds to fuse the beads together evenly. Try not to iron too much as it could cause your design to sit unevenly when assembled.

4. Flip the design off the pegboard and lay flat on the ironing paper.

Place some more ironing paper over the designs and iron the reverse side for about 40 seconds. Allow to cool.

5. Check both pieces to ensure that each bead has fused together. You can iron over any spots that may need further melting.

6. Use the slots to carefully slide the two pieces together to construct your egg.

7. Glue your egg to the inside of the jar lid.

8. Add water to your jar, but do not fill it all the way to the top. Add approximately half a teaspoon of glitter and mix it through.

9. Screw the lid on tightly. Your Iron Bead Snow Globe is ready to display!

Gently shake to see the swirling glitter.

CleverTip: Add a drop of detergent to prevent the glitter from sticking to surfaces. © CleverPatch ™ 2025 - www.cleverpatch.com.au

‘He Is Risen!’

Follow our design or create your own patterns and colour combinations!

1. Sketch a cross onto the centre of the canvas panel.

2. Use masking tape to completely cover the cross. Press the tape firmly onto the board.

3. Lay a plastic sleeve over the canvas and use markers to colour in around the cross. You can use as many colours as you wish. Your design is now on the plastic and will be transferred onto the canvas later.

4. Place the plastic sleeve to the side and use a fan brush to splash water droplets on top of the canvas. Make sure there are lots of water droplets everywhere on the surface.

5. Lay the plastic sleeve marker side down onto the wet canvas.

You will see the colours running and bleeding into each other like watercolour. Use your fingers to smooth and push the ink around.

6. Remove the plastic sleeve, allow the canvas to dry then remove the masking tape. It may have bled slightly under the tape but this adds to the effect. Finish your artwork by adding detail with a permanent pen!
