Small Fused Project step-by-step instructions:

Clean Up Supplies:

Rubbing Alcohol, Dish Washing Detergent
Cloth with very little lint (old T-shirt)

Step 1 - Initial 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

Step 2: Prepare the project:   Trace the 1 inch clear star onto the back of the Dicro Slide tm, cut out. Soak in water approximately 20 to 30 seconds. Slide onto backside of clear star.

Paint the backside of the large clear star with the Gold paint in long straight strokes, starting in the center moving to the outside points of the star.  Tip: make sure to load the brush with a good amount of paint prior to painting each point of the star so that you do not have to brush multiple times in order to get the straight stroke lines.  If you want a smoother appearance, brush multiple times.

Let dry for at least 20 minutes before moving piece. 

Step 3:  Place into Kiln Using Fingers around outer edges of the fusible glass project or  wear latex gloves, pick up and place the project on the kiln shelf paper/shelf.   Place the large star with the painted side down.  Then place the smaller star in the center of the large star with the point offset to the large star's points making sure the Dicro Slide tm is on the bottom side and sandwiched between the two pieces of glass.  Make sure to leave a minimum of 1/2" (13 mm) space between each project to ensure they do not touch and fuse together.

Step 4: Kiln Firing Process- Tack Fuse 
(You could also do a full fuse for a smoother look with rounded edges)
