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.

1. Cut clear glass into strips. For glass cutting directions see
   
   Delphi Instructions for Beginning Stained Glass
   
   or Stained Glass Made Easy video #6149V.
   
2. On a kiln washed shelf, arrange the clear strips to form a rectangle.
   
3. Cover the clear glass with random pieces of mosaic frit. It is acceptable to overlap the colors.
   
4. Using Fusing Schedule on
   
   Delphi’s Instructions for Fusing
   
   , place in kiln and fire flat.
   
5. 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.
