Hama ironing paper is a specialized product used in conjunction with Hama beads, which are small plastic beads that fuse together when heated. The paper is placed over the arranged beads on a pegboard before applying heat with an iron, allowing the beads to bond without sticking to the iron itself. This process helps create durable, colorful designs and crafts, making it popular for various creative projects. It is reusable and typically comes in sheets designed to withstand multiple uses.
You can only do this with certain types of beads, called Perler beads, or Hama beads. What you do is you put a piece of ironing paper (which comes with the beads) or wax paper, on top of your design. Then with the iron set at medium, you iron the design through the wax paper. Keep the iron there for 10-20 second, or until you have reached the desired effect.
Perler beads which are similar to Hama beads are small tubed beads that can be "glued" together by using an iron. Some really creative ideas are animal shapes and Christmas ornaments, although the ideas are limitless.

You get the tracing paper and put your beads on your template and put them in between the tracing paper. Next iron over and they should stick together if this doesn't work just keep on ironing and then take the stuck together beads and take them off the template and let to cool down. There you go!
