Note: This project was made using 2 inch wide bevels you can use 1 1/2 or 1 inch bevels as long as you purchase matching corner square and straight bevels. Each side is a total of 12 inches. Example: you could also use QTY:2 of x 4 inch long bevels in place of an 8 inch long bevel but you would still need QTY: 2 of a 2 x 2 square at each end.

Black Spades: Is created using black hearts positioned upside down and a small scrap of black glass for the stem positioned at the deep V of the heart.

Black Clover: Is created using black hearts positioned with the deep V's facing inward.  The stem is a small piece of black scrap wider at the top and the top is cut at an angle. 

Red Diamonds: Are created using red Jeweler's Diamond.  Larger: Cut straight across the widest portion of two Jeweler's diamonds, this gives you to triangle.  Position them back to back to form the diamond.  Using the scraps or another Jeweler's diamond cut at angle to create small triangles and repeat by placing 2 together on their widest edge.

NOTE: Use a small drop of Elmer's glass to hold the glass shapes in position.  Make sure to NOT place and of the glass shapes within a 1/4 of the edges prior to firing.

See special notes below before proceeding to  See Soldering Techniques in the Glass Tips & Tips Section.

SPECIAL NOTE:  Cut and bend Copper restrip before soldering

In this project we cut:

- Qty 2 - 12 inch strips to use across the width of the top and bottom between the beveled and fused panel.

- Qty 1 - 10 inch strip for use down the center, bending a 1 inch section at each end but in opposite directions, like an elongated Z shape.

- Qty 2 - 6 inch strips for use across in the middle for each fused panel.  

We recommend that you tack soder 3 sides of the outside bevels and make sure they are square.  Use your stained glass nails to hold the piece in position and for leverage as you push and work on the inside pieces together along with the re-strip between them. Tack soder each piece together and tack solder at each end of a piece of re-strip.  Position the bevels for your last side check for squareness and tack soder.  

Then proceed to final soldering.

Step 7: Attach Rings & Chain for Hanger

Solder each of the 2 rings at the top, inner joint and the attach the hanging chain to each ring to hang the panel.
