I love to see what crafter extraordinaire Mark Montano makes, so when I saw that he had a video on how to melt marbles in a microwave kiln for jewelry I needed to share it with all of you. For anyone unsure of whether they want to get into fusing glass this is a great stepping stone. I’ve written about the microwave kiln before and feel like it’s a great beginners tool. Once you start here it’ll only be a matter of time before you take the next step…Mark has written many books, and is most famous for The Big Ass Book of Crafts!

After you have made your pom pom tree topper featured at the blog Sugar and Cloth why not use the scrap yarn to embellish the branches like tinsel?
