(Tips
and Tricks on How to Make Glass Frit Balls.)
- Using a
tiny spec of Elmer's Glue add Glass Frit balls to the
wings of the Dichroic Butterfly.
Break a small piece of black stringer to
form the butterfly body and use a tiny spec
of Elmer's
Glue to position pieces of stringer in place.
- Break Blue Glass Noodle to make a boarder around
the outer edges of the Thin Clear glass and use a tiny spec of
Elmer's glue to hold them in place.
Let all pieces dry for at least 10
minutes.
Step 3: Assemble
Position the butterfly in the center of the clear thin square.
We positioned ours at an angle and centered and use a tiny
spec of Elmer's glue on the outer edges to hold into place. Step
4: Place Project into Kiln
Using
fingers around the outer edges of the box sides or better yet wear
latex gloves pick up and place on the kiln shelf.
