Elf Legs



12/08/08 - Christmas Elf Legs - This cute design is very easy to design and assemble, but does require the use of a glass saw. There is a lot of detail in the shoes that would be impossible to cut without the use of a saw. You can add a couple of dots to the toes of the shoes to resemble bells on the tips. After fusing, use Pebeo Vitrea paints to add the details and then cure the paints in an oven according to the directions on the paints.
