Hama Maxi Beads – Coloured

Contents: 300 Hama maxi beads in 7 colours.

Thanks to the large variety of HAMA planks and beads, you can make beautiful designs out of plastic, completing the design created by ironing. The coloured beads, the different shaped and sized boards, the special papers and the idea booklets can be purchased in different sets, but also separately, allowing you to choose exactly the right package for your design.
Making

designs:
1. Place the beads, one by one, on the pegboard to create a pattern. You can take inspiration from our ideas or create new designs.

2. Important: because of the temperature, ironing must be done by an adult!
Place the ironing paper on the pattern. Use a regular iron to melt the beads together, creating a permanent design. The special paper is to protect the iron from getting small amounts of plastic on it.
Apply

the iron to the paper for just a few seconds in circular motions. Don’t hold the iron still as it will damage the nails! If you avoid burning them, you’ll be able to use the boards over and over again. We recommend ironing a smaller area to test the set temperature before ironing the whole design.

Do not overheat the beads! After ironing for a short time, the colours of the beads will be more clearly visible through the paper, which means you are finished. Once ironed, the beads cannot be used again.

3. Once the beads have cooled (within 2-5 minutes), you can remove the pattern from the board.
