In today's tutorial, I share four simple pendant shapes that you can make in a microwave kiln. There is a lot to learn about fusing glass but you don't have to know it all to get started. You can begin your glass fusing journey with this simple little inexpensive kiln.

Welcome to the Upcycle Design Lab. I craft with recycled, repurposed, and unwanted materials. There is a lot of experimenting with trash and recyclables to make them "new" again. If you enjoy reusing repairing and re-imagining old items, I hope you will stick around and check out some of my other Upcycling tutorials and join those of us who are rethinking the things we throw away.

So interesting! I did not know you can fuse glass in a microwave. Maybe I need to buy a kiln 😀

@antonypalmer5804 Год назад

I have already done some enameling so I think that tomorrow I will try making some fused glass pendants thanks for the tutorial

Hello, long comment. I apologize. I see that this video is a bit old, but I’m planning to make some fused glass jewelry. I was wondering about the COE of the recycled glass, and how to know which glasses have which coefficient of expansion so they’ll fuse and bond without cracking later. To my very limited knowledge, glasses like borosilicate, which has a COE of 33 I believe, the smaller the number, the “harder” and more stable the glass I think (usually the tempered glasses like Pyrex used in cooking) are more stable and can handle a bigger temp range without cracking. Other common glasses used for lamp-working and fusing are 90 or 96, although there are more available. My torch is a small starter one, since I don’t have an oxygen set up, so I can only work with the softer, less stable glasses (usually 90 COE) and have to be careful that they don’t cool too quickly. Annealing them stabilizes the glass so they don’t shatter later. I’m not familiar with the microwave kiln, but have a small tabletop kiln I’ve used for annealing lamp-worked beads. I’m planning to use it for my fusing with some glass molds. I love this idea, and just wanted to get some feedback since I’m just learning. I also wanted to see if anyone has used this glass with molds, and whether or not they stick or come out easily. Thank you for these up-cycling videos! They’re excellent and I’m so glad I found them.

Hi! Those tweezers seem like they work really well for setting small pieces. Do you know what brand/style they are and where you got them? Thanks!

@syngen462

Does anyone know if you can fuse glass mosaic tiles in a microwave kiln?

@helennahoopii5882 2 года назад

Can you bake more than one pendant at a time? Thanks

@vakhbod100

Please show us how you cut the glass. Thanks ❤

Hello. How did you put the hook inside?

@amandadalton8715 2 года назад

Hi, I’ve tried fusing glass pieces using two different microwave kilns and while the pieces look nice, they often come out with little black specs on them. I’ve tried everything! What do you do to prevent this?

@mexipatti

I just watched a video and she said your microwave is not safe for food after using this kiln. Is this true?

@kathiekarancz964 Год назад

I have taken many courses through my years and now teach on glass fusing. One of the first things to learn is that all glass has to be the same because glass moves within the kiln at different rates (that’s probably why that back piece didn’t want to keep up with the rest). This is called Coefficient of Expansion (COE). Melting the same bottle together may be OK but NOT window glass and other things like bottles. It may all hold together for awhile but it may just all of a suddenly pop apart. Plus, you can only refuse glass around 3 times. I would suggest anybody thinking of fusing, study up on it first. This video had lots of bad information. 👎👎🐢
