How can I get my perle beads to not stick to the wax paper?

I’m trying to do some crafts with perle beads and they stick to the freaking wax paper every time. Maybe I’m letting it get too hot, I don’t know. But I have also tried not ironing the perle beads too long and then they don’t melt enough to adhere together and the craft just falls apart. Help someone!

    I haven’t used perler beads for long but so far that always happen to me so maybe its supposed to..i don’t know
    Just leave it on the paper, let it start to harden and then pull it off.

    If the problem is the wax paper sticking to your project after you pull it off (little bits of it) try new wax paper all together. I was using wax paper that came in my bead kit and I always had little bits stuck on it.. But then I bought new peg boards and I started using the wax paper that came with it (it appeared thicker and more waxy) and all of my projects have been perfect(:
    I hope things work out for you!
