Hama Beads...anyone used them?

That sounds adventurous!! I would love to see you ironing that!!!

Here is a quick look at what my DD did with hers, These are her larger mats!

Ha ...yes I've nearly ironed one of my first attempts flat so must remember to layoff a bit! I got inspired from when I used to design knitting pattern designs for my nan when I was a kid- I did all of the xmen which she knitted into a lovely sweater for me! Ahh memories....those mats are cracking btw!

I have bought a half kilo box from Ikea, like Gemma said, and some basic shapes for making patterns. The box also contained some paper sheets, that I thought should be ironed on the back of the pattern, to keep it together. I didn't try it yet, buy maybe I'll give it a chance sometimes.
Good luck with your projects.

Hi Anka,

The paper is what you need to stop the iron sticking to the beads and is then peeled off! It's like greaseproof paper.

Gook Luck with your attempts!

That's good to know, they don't say that anywhere, but then again, I think it rather logical.
Thanks, anyway!
