Itsy Bitsy Spider Designed by Jeanne Baruth for Diamond Tech
MATERIALS NEEDED 1 pc Fuseworks™ Orange Sheet Glass (808PK) 1 pc Black Sheet Glass (S1009) Fuseworks™ Black Stringers (427835) Fuseworks™ Kiln Paper (427847) Fuseworks™ Microwave Kiln (424849) Glass Cutter (425653) Large Silver Pendant Bail (63873) E6000® (8919) or other glass glue Microwave – 1200 watt DIRECTIONS – PART 1 1. Measure and mark the following glass sheets: Orange – one 1-7/8" x 7/8" and three 1/2" x 1/2" Black – four 1/2" x 1/2" Black Stringers – four 7/8" 2. Using a glass cutter, cut glass to designated sizes as indicated above. Clean glass using paper towel moistened with water. Completely dry the surface of the glass with a lint free cloth. 3. Next, cut two 2" x 2" piece of kiln paper. Remove the lid from the Fuseworks™ Kiln. Place the kiln paper on the kiln base. 4. Layer the glass on the kiln paper starting with the 1-7/8" x 7/8" orange base glass. Next, place the stringers across the width of the orange glass, leaving spaces between each stringer, creating a striped effect. HOT TIP: If your stringers roll around too much, tack them into place using a small amount of diluted glue. To dilute glue, in a small mixing cup use one drop of white school glue to 3 drops water, mix well. Apply a small amount of the mixture to one side of the stringer with a tooth pick; set into place. This mixture must completely dry before fusing or your project will shatter.

Itsy Bitsy Spider 5. Carefully set the base with glass inside the microwave. Cover base and glass with kiln lid. 6. Fuse* at full (100%) power for 2 minutes 30 seconds. After time is up, open microwave and, using Hot Mitts (427846) carefully lift the lid enough to inspect the fusing process. Add additional time in 30 second increments until desired results are achieved. Remove kiln from microwave using the Hot Mitts and place on a heat resistant surface. Cool the kiln on a heat resistant surface for at least 40 minutes with the lid on. Removing the lid or peeking under the lid during the cooling will result in your piece cracking. Glass remains hot for a long time and should be handled with great caution. 7. Cool your kiln completely, approximately 30-40 minutes. DIRECTIONS – PART 2 8. Remove the lid from the Fuseworks™ Kiln. Place a new piece of kiln paper on the kiln base. 9. Place the 1/2" x 1/2" Orange and Black glass on the kiln paper. Leaving 1/2" space between the squares. 10. Carefully set the base with glass inside the microwave. Cover base and glass with kiln lid. 11. Fuse* at full (100%) power for 1 minute 30 seconds. 12. Adhere a large silver bail to the back of the pendant using a glass adhesive such as E6000® (8919). Allow the adhesive to dry according to glue manufacturers directions. Place glass buttons on pendant. When satisfied with placement, glue buttons into place and allow to dry. Slip pendant onto your favorite chain or rope necklace. *Every microwave oven and kiln will vary. You will need to test and log what time will be suited for your combination.

My Little Pumpkin Head 5. A dd the yellow pumpkin facial features; if necessary use the image for positioning. Place the green pumpkin stem at the top of the pumpkin head. 6. C arefully set the base with glass inside the microwave and cover with kiln lid. Fuse in a 1200 watt microwave at 50% for 2 minutes; 80% at 1 minute and 30 seconds. If using a microwave with a lower wattage increase the power level but keep the time consistent. PLEASE NOTE: All microwave and kiln combinations will have different firing patterns. Be sure to take careful notes and log all fusing times for future use. 7. A fter time is up, open microwave and, using Hot Mitts (427846), carefully lift the lid enough to inspect the fusing process. Add additional time in 30 second increments until desired results are achieved. 8. Remove kiln from microwave using the Hot Mitts and place on a heat resistant surface. Cool the kiln for at least 30 minutes with the lid on. CAUTION: Removing the lid or peeking under the lid during the cooling stage will result in your piece cracking. Glass remains hot for a long time and should be handled with great caution. 9. To patina the copper, work in a well ventilated area or outside; put the copper sheeting in a disposable plastic container with a lid. Spray the surface of the copper with vinegar. Add approximately two tablespoons of ammonia or Windex into the bowl and cover tightly with lid or a plastic bag for one hour. WARNING: Do not breathe fumes. When the patina process is complete; remove from the container and wash copper sheeting thoroughly. 10. Using round nosed pliers (630527), “roll” 1/4" of the copper sheet down from the top. This will create a tube-like opening through which we will thread the hanger. Next, grab the two bottom corners with the pliers and roll up about 1/8". Glue the fused Pumpkin head and a rusty tin maple leaf cut out to the copper using E6000® (8919) glue. 11. Thread the 8-1/2" length of copper wire through the top opening of the copper sheet. Bring both ends of the wire up so they meet. Make a loop at the end of one wire, pinch and hold. Wrap the remaining wire around the bottom of the loop to secure. Create decorative curls at the ends of each wire. 12. To create the embellishments, wrap each green wire length around a tooth pick to create a spring. Slip 4 beads on to the end of one of the wire springs. Loop the end of the wire to hold the beads in place. Wrap the beaded spring around the leaf, see image for placement. Slip the remaining green springs into each curled corner to create tendrils.

Stained Glass Pumpkin Original design by Jeanne Baruth.
Skill Level – Beginner and up Before you begin, find a place to work that has great ventilation where you can open a window and use a fan. An area safe from children and pets is recommended. The less you move an unfinished project, the less likely you are to have damage. Materials: Stained Glass Red/Orange/Cream (G359) Stained Glass Emerald Green (G327) Stained Glass Peaches/Cream (G1086) Fid (a pencil or popsicle stick can be substituted) Exacto™ or craft knife (5536) Glass Cutter (425655) Soldering Iron (5000) Flux (5521) Paint Brush (to apply flux) (9761) Fan Silver Wire 20 gauge (63240) 60/40 Vinegar/Water Solution Soft Cloth Foil Shears (optional) (5086) Grinder or Scythe Stone (5169) Homosote Board (5182) Liquid Soap Regular Scissors
Bring fall into your home with this beautiful pumpkin suncatcher. Stained glass projects are fun for adults of all ages!
Instructions: 1. Make 2 copies of your pattern. Cut one out with foil shears or cut out along the inside edges of the pattern lines with regular scissors. Mark each pattern piece with one simple arrow indicating direction you want the glass grain to run. Glass direction/grain will either be in the form of the color or texture, if used correctly it will enhance your panel. 2. Lay out your pattern pieces on glass, trace around them using a permanent marker. Note: If using the textured side of the glass in your design, turn pattern piece over and trace, cut on the smooth side of the glass. When scoring glass, cut on the inside of the drawn line. 3. Clean each piece of glass thoroughly with vinegar solution and a clean cloth. Foil will not stick properly if your glass is dirty or oily. Using a marker, number each piece of glass to correspond with the numbers on the uncut pattern. DELPHIGLASS.COM

Stained Glass Pumpkin 4. Using a glass cutter, cut out your pieces. You can use a grinder or a scythe stone to shape and remove sharp sections from your pieces. 5. The foil is what makes the solder adhere to the glass. Start with 1/4" (1.5 ml thick) copper foil. Peel back 3"- 4" of backing from the foil. Center the edge of your glass piece on the sticky side of the foil. Always “start” your foil on the inside edge of the glass where it will touch the next piece and be out of sight once it is soldered. Wrap the entire outer edges of the glass with foil and overlap the ends 1/4". 6. Use a fid (if you don’t have a fid, a pencil or popsicle stick can be substituted) and burnish (rub) the surface of the foil to the edge of the glass. Press firmly, however too much pressure may cause the foil to tear. 7. Gently push down the foil on the corners and sides of the glass. DON’T slide your fingers along the foil, it can cut you. Again burnish down the foil to the glass. Your foil must be secured to your glass completely and smoothly to make the solder effectively hold to your glass pieces. 8. Use an Exacto™ knife (or sharp blade of any kind) to trim any excess foil, creating a uniform edge along the face of the glass. Use a fire resistant surface on which to solder. A homosote board works well. 9. Plug in your soldering iron. WARNING: No drinking, eating or smoking while handling lead solder! Pregnant or nursing woman should avoid all lead solder. Open window and turn on fan when soldering. 11. Using the second copy of your pattern for reference, arrange foil wrapped glass pieces on your work surface. Place METAL push pins around the perimeter of your project. This will hold your pieces in place while you solder. Tack your joints together with a bit of flux and a small dot of solder, where pieces touch. This will hold your project’s shape while you run your solder lines. Remove push pins. 12. Apply a small amount of flux with a brush to your foiled seams. Apply only to areas you will be able to work in 10 minutes. Solder will not properly adhere to glass without foil and flux. 13. Pull out about 9 inches of solder from the spool, do not cut. 14. Place the hot soldering iron tip on the seam you want to solder. Use the narrow edge as opposed to the flat edge, as this helps to raise the solder bead. Now that the tip is on the foil, place the solder from the spool about 1/2" up from the end of the tip. Gently push the solder into the tip, as you move the tip along the seam. Let up on the amount of solder when you come to the end of the seam. Now wipe your tip and put the iron back into the iron stand. 15. Do not leave the soldering iron in one place too long; this can crack the glass or the solder can “melt through”. This means the solder will liquefy and fall through the foil seam between the glass. 16. Solder the front, back and sides of your project, wherever foil is exposed. Then do a final solder bead. This is a skill you will acquire over time. All seams and outer areas should have a raised bead. 17. If you can’t complete your project, remember to clean it with your cloth and vinegar solution, then put plastic wrap over the project. This will keep the foil from “aging” and that makes for easier soldering when you’re ready to continue. 18. When you have completed the soldering, let cool completely and spray a cloth with your vinegar solution and wipe the flux off of the project. Clean your finished project with liquid soap and water, rinse thoroughly and dry. 19. Embellish your pumpkin with curled wire and beads.

Clean your KraftyBlok™ inside and out and dry completely. 2. Place the KraftyBlok™ flat on a work surface with the opening at the bottom. Measure, center and mark a 5-1/2" x 5-1/2" square on both faces of the KraftyBlok™. 3. Copy and resize pumpkin image (opposite page) to 5-1/2" x 5-1/2" using any software that allows you to manipulate and print images. 4. Set up your printer as instructed on the KraftyBlok™ Image Art packaging. 5. Follow printer’s instructions and print transfer. Allow paper to set 10 to 15 minutes to dry. Trim to size with scissors. 6. Place transfer in a bowl of water and wait approximately 1 minute. 7. Lightly moisten the area marked off on the face of the block. Center the transfer inside the designated area. Roll 1/2" of the backing paper away from the top of the Image Art transfer (the decal). Take extra care when sliding the image as they are delicate and can tear easily. Gently slide the Image Art transfer from the backing paper onto the surface using your fingers to smooth the decal as you peel away from the backing paper. 8. Gently pat and smooth the Image Art transfer with a moist paper towel eliminating air pockets and wrinkles. Allow to dry 10 minutes. 9. Carefully turn the KraftyBlok™ over onto a soft towel so the opening is facing down, apply the second image to the back. NOTE: If you do not allow enough time for the first transfer to dry, it will get marred when you flip it over. 10. Allow both transfers to dry overnight. 11. To permanently set the transfer, preheat a conventional oven to 345°F. Place the KraftyBlok™ with the opening facing down on a baking rack. Do not allow either side of the block containing the Image Art transfer to lie against the baking rack. Bake for 15 minutes. Turn off oven, prop door slightly, and allow it to rest for 20 minutes.

Pumpkinhead Lamp 12. When oven and block are completely cool, remove from oven and hand wash using a mild soap and water. Dry with a lint-free cloth. 13. Lie block flat on a covered work space. Tape off edges around the pumpkin and the sides of the block using painter’s tape. Paint inside the taped area with black enamel paint to create a frame. Allow to dry completely. 14. Once dry, apply black glitter paint over the black enamel paint on the front of the block. Allow to dry according to the manufacturer’s instruction. 15. Once dry, score around the painted edges of the tape with a craft knife and a ruler. This creates a clean sharp edge when you remove the tape. Slowly remove the tape. Repeat step 13 on the opposite side. 16. Next, place orange and black 3/8" tiles around the pumpkin transfer on the front face of the block, alternating colors. Once in place, lift tiles and glue into place. 17. Finish project by measuring and cutting a 20" length of 3/4", 1-1/4" and 2-1/4" ribbon. Place the 2-1/4" ribbon flat on your work surface, center and layer the 3/4" and 1-1/4" ribbon on top over the 2-1/4" ribbon. Apply a dot of hot glue on each layer to hold into place. Fold over one edge of the ribbon 1/2" and glue to one side of the opening. Wrap the ribbon around the block and finish by folding the remaining end under 1/2" and glue next to the remaining side of the opening. 18. Glue other embellishments, such as a scrapbook die cut of a little bitty spider. 19. Insert a light into the project and place the embellished KraftyBlok™ into the stand. Your Pumpkinhead Lamp is ready to light up the festivities with a boo-tiful glow!

Fused Glass Cameos Materials: Traditional Cameo (80889), Dragonfly (80890), Tree of Life (80891), Praying Hands (80895), Skull (80896), Victorian Cameo (80898) casting molds MR-97 Boron Nitride Spray (93702) Digital kiln with chamber 8" dia. or bigger Medium Grain, Fine Grain and Powder Grain transparent and opal frit of compatible COE’s. Instructions: 1. Begin by treating the mold with the Boron Nitride spray in a ventilated area. Several light coats with a short waiting period between coats is preferable to one heavy coat. Shake the can well before use and hold the can upright while using to assure proper distribution of product. (For more information on the use of this product visit http://mr-97.com/info/) 2. After the spray has been allowed to dry, place a frit of powder grain into the low recesses of the cameo design. A frit sifter or other small device can be very helpful to place the powder frit in the cavity. Use a small detail brush to carefully sweep any stray frit back into the cavity. Disturb the glass separator as little as possible. Opal or transparent powdered frit alike can be used to fill the cameo recess, however, select a color and opacity that will yield a nice contrast with the background glass. Figure 2 illustrates the addition of transparent Deep Aqua powdered frit that was placed in the dragonfly wings over the Black opal powdered frit previously placed in the outline and veins of the wings. Delphi Tip: Powdered frit will shrink dramatically at a full fuse. It is helpful to add fine grain frit to many of the larger cameo design areas. The powdered frit is placed into the cavity first to yield a very smooth non grainy surface and fine frit is used as filler on top of the powdered frit in the larger cavities such as the praying hands (Fig. 3).

3. O nce the cameo recess is filled and stray frit is addressed, a wide variety of frit colors, opacities and grain sizes can be used to make the background glass of the cameo. Pieces of dichroic glass or dichroic flakes can be added for a bit of glitz. It is important to remember that the glass facing you in the mold as you look down into the mold, is the glass that will be away from you as you look at the cameo after firing. If dichroic on black glass is used, it should be turned dichroic side down into the cavity of the mold to be seen dichroic side up in the finished piece. 4. M any times, frit of color and interest is placed in the lower 1/4" of the mold (Fig. 4) and the remainder of the mold is filled with clear glass. This choice is purely subjective and colorful frit can be used to fill the entire mold to the desired weight. The weight of glass that is recommended to add to each cameo mold can be found in Table 1. 5. A fter the glass is placed in the mold, the glass should be mounded away from the inner mold wall and the core (if the mold has a core) to allow the glass to roll down during fusing and create a smooth fused edge on the glass (Fig. 5). 6. The project should be placed in the center of a kiln on a kiln shelf and fired to a full fuse using the firing schedule provided in Table 2.
