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.

Prep Base and Glass Cap: Grind the corners of all 4 corners for both the clear base and the top clear Dichroic glass cover.  This will encourage nice round ends on the glass barrette.  Clean both pieces and dry.

Step 2:  Position Glass: 

Using just a tiny spec of Elmer's™ Glue, position the black and white circles against each other, alternating colors and centered each piece on the glass base. 

Then glue the top piece of clear Dichroic glass, centered to align with the glass base.

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 and run a full fuse.

Step 4:  Full Fuse Use the below firing schedule.

Step 6: Prepare Kiln for Slump Process: Take the kiln shelf out of the kiln. Using the kiln posts, set the kiln washed mold in the middle of the kiln. Place Fiber Paper over mold. Place the fused fused project on the mold.  The mold is wide enough to accommodate slumping 3 or more barrettes at the same time.

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