Instructions

Small Starlight Tree:

  1. Begin with properly fired cone 04 bisque. Moisten the sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Use the pencil to label each section of the tree as 1, 2, and 3. Repeat going around the tree.
  3. Using the Script Line with SC-6 Sunkissed, apply 3 coats to each section labeled 1. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  4. Use MC-001 6mm Low Tack Masking Tape to tape over the right edge of each section labeled 1. The glaze needs to be completely dry.
  5. Using the Script Line with SC-27 Sour Apple, apply 3 coats to each section labeled 2. Allow glaze to dry between coats. Remove the tape before glaze is completely dry.
  6. Use MC-001 6mm Low Tack Masking Tape to tape over the left side of section 1 and the right side of section 2. This will leave section 3 open with borders of tape on either side. The glaze needs to be completely dry.
  7. Using the Script Liner with SC-28 Blue Isle, apply 3 coats to each section labeled 3. Allow glaze to dry between coats. Remove the tape before glaze is completely dry.
