Any alternatives to waxed paper? please help!?

Ok, so I'm babysittting my little brother and sisterMe and my sister are doing ocean friends, which is, for the people who don't know, a craft where u make a design of beads and put them on a stencil thingy and u iron them and they stick together and make a little art creationWhen ironing over them, it says to put waxed paper over the beads and iron over thatI don't happen to have any waxed paper leftAre there any alternatives to waxed paper i could put on top to iron with? Thanks for any help!

Answer:

Are these Perler beads or that same type? They are plastic and melt together a bit when you iron over themIf so, try using aluminum foilYou can't see what you're doing as well as with waxed paper, but it would protect the iron from melting plasticPut the foil over the beads and them press it very lightly, just so you can see the outline of the beads so you'll know where to iron.
