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. 

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.

Using Dark Green Glass Line paint and a fan brush apply in desired amounts and patterns to the back side of each tree. Repeat with a diluted color on the backside of the clear glass in the opposite patter.  This will create a three dimenstional appearance when fired. Let dry and then using a tiny spec of Elmer's glue position them on the White strip of 4 x 7 inch glass.  Do not place to close to edges so the rectangle white glass will hold it's shape.  Apply Clear Trees over the Dark Green Large and Small.

Using Brown Glass Line paint and a fan brush apply to form shadows for the tress, making the shadow the same direction for all.

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 an optional 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.
