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. 

Trace star on to backside of Dicro Slide tm.  Cut out star design and set aside.

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: Assemble Plate Base
 

Take the Dicro Slide tm pieces and soak in distilled water for 20 to 30 seconds. Slide and apply to the back side of the glass star.  Position star in the center of the plate.

Take each of the large and small trees Lay out evenly space on plate.  Using tiny spec of glue on the out edges of the back side of each tree (NOT the clears) and place them and let dry.

Using Glass line paints and a fan brush apply in desired amounts and patterns to the back side of each clear tree.  We did some straight green and alternated paint applications with a mix of green and a touch of blue.  Let dry and then using a tiny spec of Elmer's glue position them on the plate.

Using a brush, mix Elmer's glue and water to apply a thin layer in desired spots on Tree's where you wish to have a snow effect.  Then sprinkle it with white frit.  Once done, let dry and then using a dry brush remove any loose frit where you do not want it.  Sprinkle a little whit frit over the surface overall or we chose to crush some clear dichroic glass and sprinkled it like snow over the entire surface.

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.

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 - 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 Clean Glass project on the mold and slump fuse.
