Other Materials:
· Cold Polishing - (one of the following)
· Grinder 
· Abrasive Stone

Clean Up Supplies:

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

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) to shelf and mold
    · Cut Shelf Paper to fit shelf & one to drape over mold later
    · Place Kiln Shelf Supports, Shelf and Shelf Paper into Kiln

Step 2 - Position Glass:  Place Clear circle over mold and using a marker draw the opening so you know where to position your red glass stringers to form the red baseball stitching.  If only using the white glass them cut a piece of paper to fit inside the mold and then position that onto the glass so you know where to position you red glass stingers. 

Snap a lot of the red stringer all as close the same lengths.  It is up to you how long you want them to be for the red stitches. Using either a tiny spec of Elmer's glue or Glastac apply a tiny spec and position each red stringer.  Note: they how they are forming an open V shape.

Option - Enamel Paints:  Mix paint, shake bottle of red paint well to mix the paint pigment.  Paint on the red stitches.  Let dry for at least 10 minutes before moving glass.

Place the Clear glass on top of the White.

Optional Hanger:  If you want to fuse in a wire hanger, then on the top backside of the base glass position your wire loop using a small piece of fiber paper between the wire and the base.  (The wire will face the mold.)  Glue a piece of white glass noodle over the tips of the exposed wire and to the back of the glass back.  Then as the glass noodle melts it will bind to the white glass base with the wire sandwiched between it and the fiber paper will keep the loop from binding to the rest of the glass so later you can bend it and use as a hanger.

Step 3  - Place 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.   Leave a minimum of 1/2" (13 mm) space between each project to ensure they do not touch and fuse together.

Note: if you want to have a wire hanger,
