Small Fused Project step-by-step instructions:

Step 1:  Preparation
· Trace Flower Pattern onto the white circle and cut.  Grind if necessary. Clean Glass using Alcohol or Dish Washing Detergent. Then dry and set aside on a clean piece of paper or cardboard. 

Note: you could use the white circle without the pattern, you will just have less definition of the flower.

- Using a tiny spec of Elmer’s Glue position Amber Circle and stringers, then the red stringer onto White flower Base. Let dry for at least 10 minutes or until flowers do not move.

- Use dabs of Elmer's Glue, sprinkle red frit over it.  Let dry for at least 10 minutes before moving.

· Clean & Prep Kiln: 
    · Apply Kiln Wash (Shelf Primer)
    · Cut Shelf Paper 1/2 inch larger than the circles
    · Place Kiln Shelf Supports, Shelf and Shelf Paper into Kiln

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

Step 2: Full Fuse 

Put glass flower into the kiln to fire. 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.

NOTE: Place the Circle of Thin Fire paper over the top of each mold and then set the fused glass circle over the draping mold.  This will insure easy removal after the draping occurs.

Note: If you do not get a full slump, you can ramp up another 5 degrees but never hold more than 20 minutes.
