Christmas is coming so this fused glass video has 2 projects for making a couple of Christmas decorations. One is a star, the other a gingerbread man.

Project Information
In the YouTube video, you will find links to related videos, a chapter list with time stamps, and links to more resources.
Don’t forget, the glass I normally use is Bullseye 90 COE. I use Thinfire fiber paper on the shelf, but when fire polishing on my shelf, and slumping in moulds, I spray with boron nitride mould release.
All relevant details are in the video.
If you have any questions please ask in the comments section for the YouTube video.
Remember, these schedules are for COE 90.
