Creating cast glass jewelry is a rewarding (and giftable) project. These molds make it easy to create professional-quality pendants in a single firing. Follow these simple tips for best results.

Preparing Your Mold
Always prime molds so glass releases cleanly.
Recommended options:

  • ZYP Lubricoat (Aerosol): Easy application and removal; produces smooth surfaces.
  • Casting Primer: Brush-on option; affordable and widely available (requires more cleanup).
Filling the Mold:
  • Add a base layer of medium clear frit.
  • Sprinkle fine clear frit to level.
  • Arrange murrini with tweezers.
  • Lightly sprinkle fine clear frit to stabilize, leaving murrini visible.
  • Fire using the recommended pendant schedule.
Creative Tips:
  • Flip and refire pendants if the back looks better than the front.
  • Combine transparent and opal frits for added depth.
  • Experiment with different mold shapes for variety.

  •   Simple Round beads mold
By on
Pros : Easy to work with. Fun to tack fuse many different sizes together to make interesting home decor pieces .
Cons : The protrusions for holes easily break off, must be sprayed carefully with mold release before using.
Other Thoughts : Recommend wrapping protrusions with kiln paper, to make it easier remove fired pieces.

  •   So much to do with these glass rings!
By on
Pros : Easy to use, durable, versatile.
Cons : None that I've found.
Other Thoughts : Love this mold so much, I bought some of the other shapes. Be sure to read the thinfire weight fill information, too, so you can maximize this mold's range of thicknesses. I use MR-47 with this (and the other similar molds) and have had no issues with spurs or sticking.
