These 'Splats' are easy to make, and can be used as coasters or paperweights.
Using 2mm strips - 2 layers of glass - place them in a star shape (either 5 or 6 arms), connected by a central piece, also 2 layers thick - (so they will all fuse together.)
Then place a small (eg. 1cm. square approx.) on the end of each arm. Use tacky glass glue to stick them down.
Make sure your final measured piece does not exceed the internal diameter of your microwave kiln. You can drawn a rough shape on to the Thinfire Kiln Paper, and use this as your template.
I usually fire most of my pieces on Medium and find I have a lot less breakages.

You can randomly use up bits of unwanted glass, or already fused pieces that you have cut up to re-use - (or you can actually design what you're making!)
