Small 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. 

- Create your Glass Lace.  See our Tips and Tricks on Glass How To Do Techniques.

- Using the Fuser's Glue cover the surface of the Clear Glass Circle.  Then position the dragonfly as desired and then lay pieces of your glass lace over the clear areas. Let dry for at least 10 minutes do not move.

Tip: Because this is a nightlight you want to keep the light bulb from being to glaring so cover the surface of the clear generously with your glass lace, especially since the dragonfly is transparent.
 

· Clean & Prep Kiln: 
    · Apply Kiln Wash (Shelf Primer)
    · Cut Shelf Paper to fit shelf
    · Place Kiln Shelf Supports, Shelf and/or Shelf Paper into Kiln

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.

Make sure the glass and the nigh light clip are clean and dry and before applying adhesive.  Place the clip on the center, back side along the bottom edge of the glass circle.  Attach the Metal Night Light Clip using the Triolyse glue. We suggest using small clips or even clothes pins to hold the clip in place while drying. Maximum strength is reached after 6 hours. 

(Read the Tips & Tricks for using Triolyse Glue)

Tip: If you are having trouble getting the clip to attach and you are sure the glass and clip are clean it is most likely you need to scuff up the surface of either the metal and/or the glass where you are attaching the clip to provide a surface in order for the glue to bond.
