PREPARATION:  When casts are still damp place holes in trees for lights. Or when trees are dry, drill holes for lights.  Place all holes in base or as desired for electrical.  Clean and fire to cone 04.
GREEN GLAZED TREES AND BASES:  Apply 3 coats of Mayco’s FN-219 Lustre Green to the green glazed bases and trees.  Using a wet sponge wipe glaze off tips of branches, where you want to apply the Snowfall.  It is easier and faster to wipe off the glaze before the glaze dries completely. Using a squeeze bottle and Snowfall, apply Snowfall to the bisque areas of the branches you wiped clean of glaze.  If you don’t first wipe off the Luster Green glaze, the snow will fire blue, not white.
 
BLUE GLAZED TREES AND BASES:  Apply 3 coats of Sheer Blue to the Blue glazed trees and bases.  Using a squeeze bottle and Snow Fall, apply to tips of branches and snow areas of the bases. Wiping the glaze off the branches and bases is not necessary on the blue glazed items. Fire to cone 06.  Apply Hanovia Liquid Bright Platinum 05 to the trim on bases.  Fire to cone .017.  Apply Mother of Pearl everywhere (including the snow), do not apply to the the silver areas.  Allow to dry and fire to cone .022.
RED AND WHITE SNOWFLAKE PLAIN BASES:  PUNCHED PAPER SNOWFLAKE TECHNIQUE
These bases look great with this extremely easy technique.
Use small size paper snowflakes made from a couple different snowflake punches.
BASES: Apply 2 coats of White Foundation to the bases.  Before the second coat dries (if dry, spritz lightly with water) apply paper punched snowflakes to the base.  Spritz the paper snowflakes lightly with water to dampen the snowflakes once applied.  Use a paper towel and gently press the paper snowflakes to adhere better.  (Take photos of the paper snowflakes pressed on the base.  This way when you are ready to remove them as instructed later in these instructions you can check and make sure you removed them all, the snowflakes will be hard to see after the last coat in the next step.)  While the paper snowflake is still damp, apply 3 coats of Hot Tamale.  Or use color of choice.  After the last coat of Stroke and Coat loses its sheen, remove the paper snowflakes.  Use a pick to help lift the paper snowflake off the base.  If the Stroke and Coat begins to dry, spritz lightly with water to keep damp.   If the snowflakes are not removed, the paper burns off and will leave a puddle of paint.  Apply 1 coat of Clear Brushing to bases and fire to cone 06.
