· Kiln Wash or Hi-fire shelf paper
· Elmer’s White Glue
· Rubbing Alcohol, Dish Washing Liquid
· Cloth with very little lint

Small Fused Project step-by-step instructions:

· Step 1:  Preparation
· Clean Glass using Alcohol or Dish Washing Detergent. Then dry and set aside on a clean piece of paper or cardboard. 

- Use your scissors cut out Moon shape from Dicro Slide ™ (We found a graphic we liked and then traced it onto the back of the Dicro Slide ™ using a pencil).  Apply the Dicro Slide ™ to the back side of the glass. (See our Tips & Tricks for using Fusible Dicro Slide ™)

- Using a tiny spec of Elmer’s Glue position each star on Clear Night Light Base.

· Clean & Prep Kiln: 
    · Apply Kiln Wash (Shelf Primer)
    · Cut Shelf Paper to fit shelf
    · Place Kiln Shelf Supports, Shelf and Shelf Paper into Kiln

· Prep Mold: Apply a good coat of kiln wash to the mold, set aside to dry.

· Step 2: Full Fuse 

Tip: It is important to note that you need to make sure to touch all glass pieces by the outer edges to avoid finger oil or prints on the surface of the glass.

Place on top of the kiln shelf paper/shelf and full fuse.

If possible, leave the kiln sit unopened until the next day so your project has had plenty of time to anneal back to room temperature.
· Step 3: Decorate Base 
- Place a few drops of
Elmer’s White Glue in a paper cup add a few drops of water. Using a sponge or paint brush spread a thin layer on the top of the full fused base where you want to sprinkle the white frit.  Then sprinkle frit and let dry 10 minutes.

- Using a small to medium tip and Black Glassline Pen Paint, draw facial expressions on the front side of the glass over the moon shape.

- Using a small to medium tip and Yellow Glassline Pen Paint, decorate your stars.

Let dry at least 10 minutes before placing in the kiln.

· Step 4 - Prepare for Slump Process:
Take the kiln shelf out of the kiln. Using the kiln posts, set the kiln washed mold in the middle of the kiln. Place the prepared fused project on the mold and slump fuse.

Step 5: Adding Night Light Clip

Make sure the glass is clean and dry and when placing the clip on the center, back side along the bottom edge.  Attach the Metal Night Light Clip using the Triolyse glue. We suggest using small clips or even clothes pins to hold the clip in place while drying. Maximum strength is reached after 6 hours. 

(Read the Tips & Tricks for using Triolyse Glue)

Tip: If you are having trouble getting the clip to attach and you are sure the glass and clip are clean it is most likely you need to scuff up the surface of either the metal and/or the glass where you are attaching the clip to provide a surface for the glue to bond.
