parchment paper is excellent for ironing

to make nice sturdy, evenly melted perlers, use parchment paper (wax paper is too sticky and doesn't heat evenly.)

Have iron on medium heat, melt both sides until they stick together, put a weight on top when cooling so they become flat.

I usually iron each side 3-4 minutes, longer if its a large bead creation

I think these things are awesome, but I have never successfully made one. ;[
