COE96 Everyday Designs

COE96 Everyday & Novelty Shapes gathers the precut COE96 pieces that sit outside our animal, botanical, holiday and food groupings: light bulbs, music notes, playing card suits, paws and bones, a lighthouse, numbers, moons and suns, along with characters like the gnome and the rubber duck. Each one is fusible COE96 glass, ready to place on a base and fire, with no scoring or grinding on your side. The rest of the COE96 lineup is under COE96 Glass Precut Shapes.

What you will find here

Light bulbs lead this group by a wide margin and are the go to for teacher and bright idea gifts. Music comes as a single eighth note and a double eighth note. Playing card suits ship as a set of four. Pet themes are covered two ways: a black paw and a white paw, and a bone shape offered in ivory, clear, white or black. The lighthouse is a small coastal piece that works on its own, and the number nine or six pack of three flips to read either digit for birthdays and house numbers. Moons, suns, snowman hats, wine glasses and the Celtic knot come in packs of three; the gnome, ice skate and rubber duck are single shapes.

Choosing colors and packs

Several products carry a color choice, so read the options before you add to cart. Paws come in black or white in packs of five; bones list four colors; the moon and the sun are each sold as a pack of three in a single fixed color; and the small color sets run blue, green, red and yellow in packs of three. Dark opalescent pieces make the cleanest silhouette on a light base, while a white paw or a clear bone is the answer when the background is dark. If you want the numbers to read clearly from a distance, pick a color that contrasts hard with the base glass.

COE96 compatibility and firing

All shapes here are COE96 and are formulated to fuse with other compatible glass in the same COE96 family. Use them with COE96 sheet, frit and stringer only; do not treat a matching COE number as proof that two glasses from different sources will fire together, and keep the stack within tested compatible glass from one system. A tack fuse keeps a light bulb or music note standing proud of the surface with its outline intact; a full fuse settles it flush. Transparent and streaky choices let the base show through. 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.

Ideas for these shapes

The light bulb is a natural for classroom ornaments and thank you gifts. Music notes suit coasters, small plaques and gifts for a musician, with a name added in stringer. Card suits make a matched coaster set in one firing. Paws and bones go on pet memorial plaques and tags, and the number packs handle birthday plates and address signs. The lighthouse pairs with a blue base for a coastal nightlight; for more shore themed pieces see COE96 Tropical & Coastal Shapes, and for the creatures themselves head to COE96 Animal & Wildlife Shapes.
