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

Cut the 3 Pink Hearts in Half.

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.  If desired place a 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.
