1. First, you need some sheets of glass. If you are already a glass fuser, then you probably have buckets of it. If not, check out your local stained glass supplier and see if they'll sell you some scraps. Normally, they'll sell this by the pound.

2. Now you need to make smaller pieces out of your scraps, unless they are already small enough for jewelry. To do this, wrap you glass in a few layers of newspaper, and give them a few taps with a hammer. Of course, if you have a glass-cutter, you can use that too.

3. If you have some super sharp areas on the glass, you will now want to give them a quick zap with a glass grinder.

4. Next, use a drill press to drill some holes through your pieces.

5. Finally, drop them in some dip and etch solution. I know for sure that Wig Jig carries it, but many jewelry suppliers carry this. You can also use it to give a frosted look to glass beads.

D.D. also suggests that you can make designs on the glass by using masking tape to mask off areas on the glass and then drop the glass in the solution.
