"Hi, this is Cheryl from Expert Village and I'm going to be teaching you how to make fused glass jewelry today, so check it out. You can use these little tile clippers here, and just cut it out, cut out a little circle. And, it goes superfast. Now this is a bottom piece of your of your jewelry. So, I have to put a top piece on it cause you have to fuse two things together, hence the name fusing. Take a clear piece of glass, and you have to make sure its 90 coeffecitne thing, basically a bulls eye piece of glass, works really well, thats just a cool name. Cut the top, trace it out again, cause your'e only gonna grind the top piece too to make it all perfectly circular. And, you go down using your glass cutter again, cut it in two. Go just like that, use your tile clippers again, and just mark them out, make a quick little circle. Basically, we're almost ready to grind. Pretty sweet. And you have your two little pieces, stick them together, and now we're ready to go on the grinder. Alrighty."
