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

Step 2 - Foil Glass Pieces
Use 7/32” copper foil to foil each flower petal. Foil each petal, wrapping the entire piece. Overlap the foil where the ends meet about 1/8”. Use a fid or lathkin to burnish the foil. Burnishing smoothes the edges of the foil and adheres the sticky side of the copper foil tape to the glass.

Step 3 - Assemble and Solder Flower Petals

Tack Solder the petals to the yellow center of the flower.  Place the second layer of flower petals on top, holding each petal at the desired angle before tack soldering.  By placing the petal pieces separately you can create a dimensional look. Apply flux brush to copper foil surface to allow the solder to be accepted. Run a smooth, rounded bead of solder as desired to the joint of each petal and Tin the outer edges.

Step 4 – Attach Brass Rod 
Use a plier to slightly bend if you wish the flower to be at an angle, about 2 inches down from one end. Solder the brass rod to the back of the flower just below the center of the flower.
Step 5 – Cleanup and Patina
Clean with soap and water. If desired, use a colored patina to turn the solder lines from silver to color and rinse with water and dry. Steel wool can be used to clean the brass rod.
