Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque.  Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Using a CB-604 #4 Soft Fan, apply 2 coats of FN-001 White to the front of the plate.  Allow to dry.
  3. Mark off 1” bands and a 5”X5” Square to create the flag outline.
  4. Apply 1” Masking tape to protect the 5” Square and every other stripe.
  5. Using a CB-604 #4 Soft Fan, apply 2 coats of SG-202 White Cobblestone to the remaining stripes. Apply the 1st coat, and then just as the SG-202 White Cobblestone loses its shine, apply the 2nd coat.
  6. As the second coat of SG-202 White Cobblestone loses its shine, apply 2 coats of SC-75 Hot Tamale to the stripes using a CB-604 #4 Soft Fan.
  7. When the glaze looses its shine, remove all the masking tape.
  8. Punch out the desired amount of stars from standard white copy paper.
  9. Wet the area you wish the star to be in, and press the punched star firmly into place. Repeat till all the stars are down.
