| sheet of decals. |
Decals are like kids transfers, they come on a printed
sheet,
you cut them, soak them for a few seconds, remove the backing paper
and slide them on to your already fully-fired glass piece.
You can use a soft haired paintbrush or tissue to gently position them into place. (Taking off some of the excess water too.) Let them dry.
Firing decals is a little tricky - they need to be fired low and slow, but once fired,
you can zap up the heat just for a short spurt.

Trial and error seems to work!
Some decals come with a thin paper top 'cover' which has to be carefully peeled off.
With the Insect piece, I placed a small piece of clear confetti glass on top and refired it - this did seem to save time, but I found the firing schedule a bit hit and miss to give instructions.
