Small Fused Project step-by-step instructions:

Clean Up Supplies:

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

· Step 1: Remove Glass. To keep from breaking the precut pieces of glass, remove them from the package using an X-acto knife.

Decide how you will hang your ornament.  

NOTE: If you choose the High Temperature Wire #17:  Item# 41184  then you will need to cut and shape the wire to be placed under the project when putting into the kiln so the Glass will fuse over it.

· Step 2:  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)
    · Cut Shelf Paper to fit shelf
    · Place Kiln Shelf Supports, Shelf and Shelf Paper into Kiln

Ramp up your kiln slowly while venting, until your reach 1,000 °F, then close your kiln and fire according the fuse schedule below. Ramping slowly is much better than a quick fire to allow plenty of time for burn off. 

· Step 4: Note:  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 5:  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.

· Step 6:  Kiln Firing Process- Full Fuse

· Step 8:  Adding Jewelry Findings

This project uses a Gold Jewelry Bail which is glued to the back of the pendant using Triolyse glue.  The earrings are are using Pierced Earring Discs glued with Triolyse glue and Earring Reinforce Discs.  Glass earrings can be heavier than most earrings.  A single layer glass will not necessarily require earring reinforce discs but 2 layers would require reinforce discs to keep the hearing laying nicely on the ear and not sagging.
