I had someone on Etsy last week ask if I had a tutorial
for applying my Copper Cut-outs. I didn't, but I do now.
I decided it might be cool to share it with everyone on LE,
so here it is . . . . . . . hope you like it !! 
~If you are able, pre-heat your
Copper Cut-outs on top of your
Kiln. *
I keep several on top of my
kiln, along with murrini and shards,
at all times.
~ Form your bead as you usually
would.
~ Lightly heat the area of the bead
that you want to place the copper
(just like you would for attaching
murrini or shards). Meanwhile heat
your Copper Cut-out in the very back
of your flame with a pair of tweezers.
Example #1
~ Attach the warmed Copper Cut-out
to the prepared area of your bead.
Immediately marver it down into place.
Your Copper Cut-out is going to be looking
more like pewter at this point - this is
normal. Example #2 & Example #3
~ Now, encase your bead with a trans-
parent glass. Example #4
Embellish your encased bead any way
you wish. You can even use mashers to
flatten the bead.
* I do.
~ The Copper will be showing the bright
red coloring after it comes out of your kiln.
Example #5
The red will show through the best with clear
encasing, but you can use any transparent
you like.
That's it - super simple !!
