Candy corn

35. Use three colors of glass, white, yellow, and orange, to make the candy corn. Start with orange and make it the biggest. Melt the glass only the thickness of the glass rod and keep winding until it is about 3/8 inch tall.

36. Melt the yellow on, again only the width of the glass rod, right next to the orange and a few rounds shorter.

37. Using white, do the same right next to the yellow and make it shorter than the yellow.

38. Melt all three colors in by turning constantly to melt evenly (figure M).

39. Once melted together, use the mini masher and press the candy corn bead into an triangle shape.

40. Continue to work in and out of the heat, applying heat to areas that need shaping and use the marver to tweak those areas (figure N).

41. When it has reached the desired shape, flash in the heat to polish all the chill marks out and to make the bead smooth.

42. Repeat this process to make a second candy corn bead.
