Ironing Paper
My first project is now under way! I think that I may have still picked to large of a picture to start with but that's neither here nor there. What I'm wondering now is what do I use for Ironing Paper? can I use just any kinda paper or is it a specific type of paper? I ask because as of right now, my picture of zero is currently 2X8 pegboards full and I'd rather not screw up such a...large...project...any advise?

Re: Ironing Paper
Use parchment paper. DO NOT use wax paper as it will melt to the beads and ruin your project.

Re: Ironing Paper
You can buy a roll of it at any grocery store in the baking section. It's super cheap so don't worry about getting a whole roll. I think I bought mine for about $2Unorez wrote:hate sounding dumb but what IS parchment paper? Can you get like single sheets at stores or do you HAVE to buy in bulk?
Parchment paper is coated in silicone which is why it's primarily used for baking and can withstand very high heat.
