COE90 Everyday Designs

COE90 Everyday & Novelty Shapes is the home for precut COE90 pieces that do not belong to an animal, flower, holiday or food theme: music notes, playing card suits, paw prints, dog bones, light bulbs, moons and suns, plus a few characters such as a gnome and a rubber duck. All of them arrive ready to fire and are meant to be laid straight onto a COE90 base without any scoring or grinding on your bench. For the wider lineup see COE90 Glass Precut Shapes.

What this category holds

Music is the strongest theme here. The eighth note is the top seller in the group, and a double eighth note sits alongside it for a two piece phrase on a coaster or a small panel. Playing card suits ship as a set of four, so a spade, heart, club and diamond land together on one order. For pet and memorial work there is a black paw print, a large dog paw, and a pack of dog bones. Light bulbs are a steady favorite for teacher and idea themed gifts. Moons, suns, snowman hats, wine glasses and the Celtic knot come in packs of three, and the gnome, ice skate and rubber duck round out the single shapes.

Picking colors and pack sizes

Most of these shapes are sold in a fixed color with a pack size in the name, and a few offer a choice. Where a color option is listed you will see plain opalescent choices such as black, white or ivory, a green transparent, and small sets of blue, green, red and yellow in packs of five. Music notes and paw prints read best as a dark silhouette on a light or transparent base; suns and moons do the opposite and carry a piece on a dark or streaky background. Check the option list on each product page before ordering so the pack count matches the layout you have in mind.

COE90 compatibility and fusing notes

Every shape in this category is COE90 and is formulated to fuse with other compatible glass in the same COE90 family. Keep COE90 shapes on COE90 sheet, frit and stringer only; a matching number on its own is not a guarantee, so stay within tested compatible glass from one system for the whole stack. Tack fuse to keep a note or paw print raised with crisp edges, or take the piece to a full fuse for a flush surface. Transparent pieces show the base through, so plan the background accordingly. How a color behaves in the kiln depends on the glass and the heatwork, and some glass is formulated to strike, so fire a test piece when the exact fired color matters.

What people make with them

Music notes go onto coasters, teacher gifts and small plaques with a name in stringer underneath. Playing card suits make a fast set of four coasters or a poker night tray. Paw prints and dog bones pair with a pet name on a memorial plaque or a keychain blank. Light bulbs sit well on a classroom ornament, and the moon and sun packs give you a night sky or a sunrise scene on a nightlight or suncatcher. If your idea leans toward a creature rather than an object, the COE90 Animal & Wildlife Shapes category carries the pets and birds; holiday specific pieces live under COE90 Seasonal & Holiday Shapes.
