Yes, I melted them for a long time. It could have been longer than 2 or 3 minutes, but I know I left the iron sitting on top of the beads and waxpaper until the you could see through the wax paper. The wax paper started to adhere and tear, and that is when I decided to take the iron off. Then I really let it cool. The great thing about these is that if you fail to melt them all together, you can just go back and try again, unlike with the iron on transfers. I hope that helps. Thanks for reading my blog. Best, Amy Hi Marisa,

I bought these same plastic beads from IKEA and had so much trouble getting them to fuse! Some spots would melt too much and others wouldn't fuse at all. Any other, more detailed tips, or should I just iron them longer? Thanks! I ran across your blog via the lego-stamped paper link on Craftzine’s Facebook page.
