First, gather up all your equipment and then we'll begin!
The first parts of the pot we need to make are the walls. I started with the wall with Hello Kitty's face, you need to make two of these. The pattern you'll need is called HK Wall 1 and can be found in the attachments.
Iron both of the walls with the ironing paper. If you don't know how to iron the beads properly look at steps 7-10.
Next, create two of the walls with Hello Kitty's bow. The pattern for this one is called HK Wall 2.
Iron the walls like you did in step 3. After you've done that you've made all the walls! Woohoo!
Now we need a base for our pot. Use the final attachment called HK Base.
We need to iron the designs so we can use them for the pot. To do this first you need to place the ironing paper on top of the beads making sure they're completely covered.
Then iron over the paper in circular movements pressing fairly hard.
Take off the paper and then gently peel the beads off the pegboard starting at the corners. Don't pull too hard or else you might break it!
Turn over the piece and put the ironing paper on the back and iron over that it. I like ironing both sides because then it's stronger and easier to put together. Remember to do this with the walls too!!
Congratulations you've made all the pieces! Collect then up and work out which piece goes where.
Place two of the walls together and slot them into the base. Be careful so you don't break them.
If it does break just iron over again like you did in step 8 or use a bit of glue from the glue gun to stick the broken pieces together again.
Glue along the joints where the sides meet and where the sides meet the base.
Attach the other sides to the base and glue them together. You may want to put some glue on a cocktail or kebab stick to reach the corners.
And ta-da! Your cute little pot is ready!
