OPTIONAL ASSEMBLY:  This project could be made using only glass glue.

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

Prep Mold: Apply a good coat of kiln wash to the mold set aside to dry. 
Clean & Prep Kiln Shelf: Apply Kiln Wash (Shelf Primer) or cut an 8 inch square of shelf paper.

Step 2:  Position Glass: Spread Elmer’s glue in a scalloped design around the outer edge of the precut 7 inch circle. Cover with white frit and allow to dry. Once dry lift and turn over the precut circle to remove white frit that is not glued in the scalloped edge. 

Using just a tiny spec of Elmer's™ Glue , position pre-cut Christmas trees, stockings, and gingerbread men. White frit was also glued to the pre-cut shapes to imitate snow and decoration on the gingerbread men. Sprinkle red frit on the background being careful not to get any on the pre-cut Christmas decorations. 

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. 

Step 3:  Place Project into Kiln: Using Fingers around outer edges of the fusible glass project or better yet wear latex gloves, pick up and place the project on the kiln shelf paper/shelf. 

Step 4:  Tack Fuse Use the below tack fuse firing schedule.

Step 7: Slump Fuse: Use the below firing schedule to slump.
