Default Leonardo Petal Puller...basic instructions

Hi all,

I have been having some questions about my petal pullers and thought I would just do some brief instructions.

Basic Instructions for Leonardo Petal Pullers (pat. pend)

Flower
1) Heat the end of your glass rod, stripe with more color or roll in frit.
2) Melt in, pinch and pull your petals, Double the amt of petals needed for the flower
3) Add to a small coffee warmer on high or candle warmer
4) Make a tab bead about ˝ inch to an inch, let droop and flatten
5) Add petals to the tab base to make a sculpted flower, remember to keep warm
6) Add designs to your liking by crimping with “ruffler” tool and finish, kiln anneal


Leaf
1) Pull petals, add to warmer
2) Make small round bead, heat spot on round and tip of petal
3) Attach petal to round, fuse both spots
4) Design and finish to your desire, add to kiln

Hope this helps...thanks,

Karen
