Place the fused bead design on a flat, heat-safe surface
Cover the design with ironing paper or parchment paper
Preheat a household iron to medium heat
Turn off steam
Move the iron in small circles over the paper
Apply light, even pressure
Heat until the beads begin to fuse together
Lift the paper slightly to check progress
Continue ironing until the desired melt is reached
Remove the iron and let the design cool
Place a heavy book or flat object on top while cooling if needed
Peel off the paper carefully after fully cooled
Flip the design and repeat on the other side if a fully fused piece is desired
