Ironing Paper

Post by Unorez »

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?

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

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 $2

Parchment paper is coated in silicone which is why it's primarily used for baking and can withstand very high heat.
