"Hi I'm Tom Wright from Gingerbread Glass, and I'm here today to show you how to make a glass jar. Ok for this clip we're going to take what we have already, which is all the color melted down together with the tube and now I'm going to take a small piece of glass and I'm going to take it down to a point and I'm going to drag some of the colors together which will give it kind of a weird look, but it will definitely look really cool. Alright so we're going to heat up our tube again, get it nice and hot. We got to get it hot enough so the colors will drift in to each other here. So once we get this nice and hot here we'll be able to do some dragging. Alright so now I'm going to focus the flame so we can just do one part at a time here. See what that did right there, it just added a little bit of craziness to it. We're going to go reshape that a little bit now, get that back on there. We'll give it a little quick puff here to blow it back out. Alright we're going to pop that back in the kiln real quick, and we're going to drag it one more time but, that's pretty much what we wanted to get."
