Create Custom Blown Ornaments The Simple Way
Making custom glass ornaments is easy with Glaskolben pre-blown clear glass cylinders with blow pipe ends. Glaskolben may be blown freehand into a ball using a Hot Head torch (item# 7329) and MAPP gas, eliminating the time consuming method of "pulling points" from glass tubes. Roll hot cylinder into frit before blowing to decorate. Pull into an elongated shape with tweezers. Sealed end clear cylinders measure 1mm wall, 28mm diameter before blowing. Annealing temperature 950° F.
Kit contains enough supplies to make 10 ornaments. Click "Features" tab at right for a list of kit components.
