People have learned to create beautiful glass things since ancient times. This is confirmed by multi-colored sintered alloys that were found in ancient Egyptian tombs. This technology of making glass objects is called fusing. To create a glass product, professional equipment is required. You can also do fusing at home if you replace it with other analogues.

The fusing technique is based on the phased implementation of the necessary actions. Glass elements with a certain pattern are laid out in a mold and baked in ovens at a temperature of 600 to 900 ° C. Under the influence of heat, glass particles melt and merge into a whole product. In this case, each element only slightly changes its position and shape. Making glass crafts is a long and laborious process, but the result is worth it. Fusing includes several more complex techniques, such as:

The simplest technique, which is very popular, is planar sintering. Its implementation requires a certain type of glass plates and the obligatory observance of the order of work. In this way, the basis for more complex and voluminous things is made. It allows you to create magnificent stained glass windows. Products made by flat sintering are beautiful and interesting. The types of fusing also include combing, polishing, casting, patte de ver, etc.

Fusing is a kind of stained glass technique, so its technology and stained glass production are very similar. If you create two canvases using the technique of fusing and stained glass, the resulting compositions will have the following differences:

• The color borders in the classic stained-glass window are made with metal elements that are clearly visible in the picture.
• The borders between colors in fusing are soft and smooth. Thanks to the gradual transitions, during the manufacturing process, the pattern takes on a natural look. With the help of stained glass technique, this effect cannot be achieved.

Ready-made crafts using the fusing technique decorate the interior and are widely used as partitions and screens. They are great for rooms made in high-tech and postmodern styles. Doors and windows are often decorated with colorful inserts. Fusing is used for the manufacture of glass table tops and panels, mirror frames.

Products made using the fusing technique are beautiful and elegant. In order to achieve the strength of crafts, the following steps must be observed during the manufacturing process:

The entire manufacturing process takes place on professional equipment, but when working with glass at home, a special mini-oven is used. It has low power and runs on 220 V. The mini-oven allows you to create small items and various decorations.

Making glass crafts at home is not only a hobby, but also a good source of income. Before starting work, choose the type and shape of the product. The easiest drawing is flowers or abstract shapes. They are best for beginners. In order not to get hurt and not get burned, put on special gloves. Use plastic or silicone goggles to protect your eyes. Making glass crafts in a home mini-oven is a combination of the following:

You can practice fusing without special equipment. To create glass crafts, an ordinary microwave oven with metal walls is suitable. This method of making glass products with your own hands is harmless and safe. The microwave power must be 800 W, otherwise the material will melt from the high temperature.

A small stove is placed inside the device, which is made of special materials and has high thermal stability. Waves of 2.4 MHz are absorbed by its substrate, and heating occurs along with the glass. Frosted and clear glass, millefiori and frits of various shades can be baked in the microwave. It is recommended to choose glass with COE 90. In the process of work, you must perform the following steps:

After the product has cooled, its color will return to its original color. Be aware that dichroic glass will change its original texture and color.

Take a look around: glass surrounds us everywhere: mirrors, windows, lamps, inserts in doors, decorations and other interior items. Almost all designers have used it at least once to design their work, and they really appreciate the properties that it has.

What is glass like?

Glass is different:

• building;
• artistic;
• liquid;
• porous;
• other.

Thanks to this diversity, craftsmen create unique kaleidoscopes, give their products unique shapes and outlines. You always want to touch glass, crafts made from it are fascinating. They are delicate and graceful, it seems that their production requires sophisticated craftsmanship.

But many glass crafts can be done even by a beginner, if you have patience and are not afraid of painstaking work.

What can be done from this material?

Products can be completely different - it all depends on the imagination of the master. They are of a certain nature: household, decorative, aesthetic and others. Handmade glass objects are a pleasure to give to friends and loved ones.

From this material you can make such crafts:

• flower arrangements;
• candlesticks;
• waterfalls;
• ornaments on glass;
• broken glass crafts;
• installations on any subject;
• use in the design of glasses, chandeliers and other interior items.

But before taking on complex work, it is worth practicing on simpler objects, for example, decorating a candlestick.

Candlestick decorated with coffee and glass

Any candlestick will do. Gently glue the coffee beans to the outside. You can use PVA glue.

Decorate only the lower part, to the middle. The glue should dry well, so leave the product for a while.

Paint the top of the candlestick with paint, you can add shine with nail polish. Aerosol paints must be applied with a sponge.

Wait for it to dry.

Take fragments from broken glass bottles, preferably transparent, colorless, and glue on the top of the candlestick.

Their shape, location depends on your imagination. It is not recommended to wet such a product.

Pictures from broken glass

At home, you can make original beautiful paintings.

This will require plywood, a finished drawing and many different pieces of broken glass.

You can draw a picture yourself or use templates.

Pieces need to be glued tightly to each other so that there are no gaps left.

Do not touch the glass until the glue is completely dry, so as not to move the pieces.

DIY broken glass crafts are always admirable.

In this way, you can make any interior items original: a mirror, a watch, a jewelry box. Pieces of glass go well with beads, seashells, sequins, buttons.

glass cover

At home, it is quite easy to make glass crafts, because there are almost always bottles of various colors on hand. They can be crushed into powder, but safety measures must be observed - use gloves, a deep container, a special mortar, glasses.

Use a brush to apply glue to the product, and then glass powder. When the glue dries a little, it is necessary to cover again. By analogy, powder can be used to paint pictures, decorate interior items.

Liquid glass

Many craftsmen make crafts from liquid glass with their own hands. It can be purchased at hardware or hardware stores. Stationery silicate glue can also be attributed to a variety of liquid glass. Often it is used to simulate the expanses of the sea.

You can decorate any piece of furniture. Under a layer of liquid glass, you can put shells, pebbles, beads or sparkles. The craft must not be touched until the material has completely hardened. To give the product volume, you can apply liquid glass in two layers.

In this master class, I will show you how to make a candlestick from improvised materials. The result is a Very beautiful candlestick, which is made within an hour. To make this candlestick, we need: Glass vases, bowls, glasses or just small jars. PVA glue, sea salt, paint, sparkles.

We will need to sift the sea salt so that we only have large crystals. I took two small, inconspicuous, glass vases. And I decided to use them for making candlesticks, but any small glass jar will do.

We take our vase and coat it well with PVA glue.

Then dip the vase in salt so that it sticks to the entire surface of the vase. Leave until completely dry.

While our glue is not dry, sprinkle the candlestick with nail glitter and leave it to dry completely.

Now we send candlesticks for painting, although they already look beautiful. I painted with an airbrush but you can also paint with a regular sponge. The paint must be thinned more strongly, to obtain a darker color, the paint must be applied in several layers.

So you learned how to make a candlestick. It remains only to put small candles in them. These candlesticks are a great addition to your holiday table.

Take a look around: glass surrounds us everywhere: mirrors, windows, lamps, inserts in doors, decorations and other interior items. In fact, all designers would really use it once to decorate their work, and they really appreciate the properties that it owns.
