Step 6: Iron and Crown
Add a sheet of parchment paper on top of your princess and iron it on a medium setting
Move your iron in a circular motion until all of the beads are melted together
When cool slowly peel off the paper to revel your princess
But your princess needs a crown
To do so take your princess off of the square and move her down a few rows so her body is hanging off a bit
You need to do this because you may not have enough room on the square for the crown
On the next row add a pattern of 2 orange 2 yellow 1 orange 2 yellow 2 orange
Then add a row of 7 with the three inner beads being yellow and the end ones orange
On the top row add 5 beads the middle one is yellow and the end two one both sides are orange
Now add more parchment paper so you can iron
Iron the top first then start to melt it to the rest of the princess
Let it cool and peel if the paper
