ALLISON KLINGER: On behalf of ExpertVillage.com, my name is Allison at Western Art Glass. And in this step, we are actually applying our cut and ground pieces. Remember, they're still numbered. Remember that? The last segment, we put our contact paper over our paper pattern, sticky side up. You see that? Okay? Pin the contact paper because it's not sticky side down, sticky side up. So you've got tacks. Put enough tacks in there that this is pulled tight. Or if you were my mother, you would say "tat." So anyway, make sure that that's all pinned down, okay? If you've got enough pins, use them. Remember, these are numbered. Put them in their corresponding place where they go, okay? Make sure that they are within the black lines, okay? Because we gotta have some space for our grout, okay? Next thing, razor blades, an X-Acto knife, something sharp. Anyway, remember, we've got our template of our mold drawn around the outside of the sun. So now, I'm going to take my razor blade and I'm going to cut through the contact paper around my paper pattern, okay? Don't be messy about this. You want to stay on that line if you can, okay? I'll just keep cutting that around. If you need to, you should rotate the board more than you rotate yourself, okay? All right, I think I got all the way around. Ta-da. All right. That's good. At this point, we're ready to put this in our mold. So on the next segment, check it out.
