Glass Pendant with Soon to Be Bail Before Firing in Kiln

8. Put the "bail" over the shelf paper so that the glued end rests against the glass and the other end points towards the top of the pendant. The bale will melt over the paper when fusing, so make sure it is long enough to do this.

9. Once you assemble all the blanks you want to make, fuse them until the bails melt over the paper. I use about the same schedule as I do for my other fused pendants:

25 minutes at #3 (500 degrees)
25 minutes at #5 (800 degrees)
20 minutes at #6 (1000 degrees)
10 minutes at Hi (1500 degrees)
