To make a fused Christmas Tree, cut glass into a triangular shape for the base, then layer various colors and shapes of glass on top, using a variety of techniques like cutting, nipping, and adding frit for decoration. Once assembled, it’s fired in a glass kiln using a tack fuse or contour fuse schedule to meld the pieces together. The finished piece can then be adorned with a ribbon for a hanging ornament or attached to a base for a display.
