Soft fan brush

Lighting kit

Prepare the tree by cutting 1/2 inch holes for the bulbs. The large hole will accommodate the puffing of the snow icing and fit the bulbs. The top center hole of the greenware should be 1/2 inch to fit the lighting kit with a smaller 1/4 inch hole on the side for the cord

Properly Clean and fire Greenware to cone 04

On Bisque apply 3 EVEN coats of Duncan Saddle Clove with a soft glaze brush.
Taking care to not leave runs or puddles. Allow to dry between each coat.

Allow tree to dry thoroughly.

With Mayco “SnowFall” apply 2 wet coats to the areas that you would like to have
the “Icing”, allowing to dry between coats.

After Snowfall is dry, (glaze will have a dull appearance – no shine) apply 1 coat of CG 750 Noel
over the snow – evenly distributing crystals onto the “ICING” ONLY.

Apply 3 – 4 coats of SC-73 Candy Apple Red to the base. (Or, if you like, Foundations FN-010 Tree Green
also gives a nice accent to the finished “Gingerbread” Tree.) It is imperative that you allow the red glaze to dry thoroughly between coats

Allow project to dry thoroughly

Bisque fire both tree and base to Cone 06.

OPTION: Using Elmers or SOBO glue to affix your bulbs in each hole in the bisque.

Install wiring into the base.
