Instructions

Small Starlight Tree

  1. Begin with properly fired cone 04 bisque. Moisten the sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Use MC-002 12mm Low Tack Masking Tape to tape over the cut outs in the tree.
  3. Pour about 1/4 cup of FN-001 White into the disposable cup. Thin with water. Pour into the tree and rotate to completely cover the inside. Drain the excess glaze.
  4. Remove the tape.
  5. Use the Script Liner to remove any excess glaze from inside the cutouts.
  6. Using the Soft Fan with FN-001 White, apply 3 coats to the base of the tree. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  7. Using the Soft Fan with EL-153 Caribbean Blue, apply 3 coats to the outside of the tree. Try not to get any glaze into the cutouts if you want them to stay white. You can also use the Script Liner to go around the cutouts. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  8. Stilt and fire to cone 06.
