Teacher's note: One sheet of clear glass strips makes twelve frames. One bottle of each of the mosaic frits makes about 12+ frames. Use extra sheets of clear glass to make additional frames. Students can also use fusible glass instead of frit to create their own design.
Directions:
Refer to Delphi's Instructions for Fusing for detailed instructions.
- Cut clear glass into strips. For glass cutting directions see Delphi Instructions for Beginning Stained Glass or Stained Glass Made Easy video #6149V.
- On a kiln washed shelf, arrange the clear strips to form a rectangle.
- Cover the clear glass with random pieces of mosaic frit. It is acceptable to overlap the colors.
- Using Fusing Schedule on Delphi's Instructions for Fusing, place in kiln and fire flat.
- Attach a clear acrylic frame to the backside of the fused picture frame with adhesive glue. Insert your favorite photo!
Tip: Be sure there is at least two layers of glass over each of the seams or you may get a hole.
