click patterns to enlarge Note- This project is advanced. Be sure to ask an adult for help when ironing and assembling your treasure chest. Moms and Dads: Be sure to not over iron your bead segments as this will make assembly difficult.

Snap together the four sides and bottom panel of your treasure chest.

Organize your lid segments as shown here, making sure the four "hinge beads" are all on the same side of the lid.

To hold the lid segments together, carefully push twist ties through the bead holes as shown. Once through, simply crimp the twist tie ends to hold the lid tightly together.

Attach the lid to the box using two short strands of twist tie. Use the photo above as reference for assembly.

Add the side handles and key to your treasure chest. Create Perler "coins" by ironing an assortment of beads into flat disks. Add the Perler skulls and your design is complete! For added detail, we curled a small piece of paper into a scroll to create a treasure map!
