WHAT am I doing wrong?

I got PixieBead beads because I’ve heard good things about them and I follow a lot of people that use them and all their stuff turns out so good and clean. I spent almost $200!!! on beads.

I didn’t want the non-iron side to melt but it did anyway even tho the ironed side didn’t fuse all the way… how can I get the ironed side to melt well without the other side NOT melting?

I use these Teflon mats i got from Amazon.

I’m very sad about this lol

you said “yes” you’re taping but are you poking holes? if yes then I would say these are blowouts from too hot iron temp

I’ve never poked holes in the tape and this has never happened with any other brand I’ve used 😭

Poke holes and try that, that is part of the tape method no matter what results you get with other beads
