Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired cone 04 bisque. Moisten a sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Pour around 1oz SC-73 Candy Apple Red into the disposable cup. Thin with enough water so that it is easily poured. Pour into the vase and rotate until the inside is covered with glaze. Place the vase upside down on paper towels for 1 minute. Turn right-side up and remove any excess glaze with a damp sponge.
  3. On the DSS-0162 Holiday Icons screen, locate the holly with 3 leaves. Draw an outline around it in permanent marker. Cut it out with excess screen around the edges.

     

  4. Squeeze around 2 TBS of SC-15 onto the palette. Add a pinch of AC-310 Silkscreen Medium. Mix with a palette knife until it becomes the consistency of peanut butter. You may need to add more silkscreen medium or glaze.

     

  5. Place the screen, shiny side down, above the ribs of the planter. While holding the screen firmly in place, take a small amount of premixed silkscreen medium, and gently rub in circles starting in the center and working outward.

     

  6. Repeat, going around the planter. Rotate the screen so they are not all gong in the same direction.

     

  7. Repeat steps 5 &6 for the vase.

     

  8. Using the Script Liner with SC-73 Candy Apple Red and SC-74 Hot Tamale, apply 1 coat to the berries.

     

  9. Using the Script Liner with SC-27 Sour Apple and SC-26 Green Thumb, apply 1 coat to the leaves.

     

  10. Using the Script Liner with SC-87 Ruby Slippers, apply 2 coats to the ribs on the vase. Allow glaze to dry between coats.

     

  11. Using the Script Liner with SC-36 Irish Luck, apply 2 coats to the ribs on the planter. Allow glaze to dry between coats.

     

  12. Using the Soft Fan with SC-27 Sour Apple, apply 2 coats to the inside of the planter. Allow glaze to dry between coats.

     

  13. Using the Soft Fan with SG-704 Peppermint, apply 1 coat over the areas of the planter and vase that are bare bisque. After that coat is dry, apply a 2nd coat over the entire planter and vase.

     

  14. Fire to cone 06.
