5. Glue the medium blue slices in a circular pattern around the orange center to represent flower petals. Allow the glue to dry for 15-20 minutes.

6. Fusing:

  • Place the glass flower in the kiln, slowing raising the temperature over two hours until it reaches 1450-degrees.
  • Let the glass soak at this temperature for 5-minutes.
  • Over the next 45 minutes, lower the temperature in the kiln to 960-degrees and let the glass soak for 25 minutes.
  • Then let the kiln cool to room temperature.

7. Remove the glass flower piece and clean thoroughly under running water. Dry with a lint-free cloth.
