COE96 Glass Precut Shapes

COE96 Glass Precut Shapes gathers every ready-to-fire shape we carry in the COE96 system under one roof. This page holds no products of its own. The shapes are sorted into nine subcategories by theme, so a fuser looking for a hummingbird, a starfish or a plain disc can go directly to the right shelf. Every one of them is COE96, formulated to fuse with other compatible glass in the same COE family.

The nine COE96 sections

Under this hub you will find COE96 Circles & Essential Shapes for discs and the basic geometry most projects are built on; COE96 Animal & Wildlife Shapes for birds, pets, farm and wild animals; COE96 Flowers & Botanicals for blooms, leaves and garden pieces; COE96 Seasonal & Holiday Shapes for Christmas, Halloween, Easter and other dates on the calendar; COE96 Tropical & Coastal Shapes for sea life and beach motifs; COE96 Southwest & Folk Shapes for desert and folk-art designs; COE96 Food & Drink Shapes for fruit, vegetables and kitchen themes; COE96 Everyday & Novelty Shapes for objects, hobbies and the fun pieces that fit no single season; and COE96 Premium Glass Bails, the fused glass loops that hang a finished pendant.

Finding the section you need

Think of the subject first. A recognizable figure is filed under the theme that names it: a cardinal under Animal & Wildlife, a palm tree under Tropical & Coastal, a chili pepper under Food & Drink. Blanks, discs and simple outlines are in Circles & Essential Shapes. Seasonal designs are grouped by holiday, so a snowflake or a candy cane lives in Seasonal & Holiday even when a plain version of the same subject appears in a themed section. If a shape does not fit a theme, Everyday & Novelty is where it lands. Colors, sizes and pack options differ from shape to shape, and each subcategory page shows exactly what is offered, so make the comparison there.

COE96 compatibility and fusing notes

Every shape below this page is COE96 and belongs with other compatible COE96 glass: sheet, frit, stringers and noodles from the same system. Do not mix them into COE90 projects. A shared COE number is not by itself a guarantee that glass from two different makers will fuse without stress, so run a test tile before you commit a piece that mixes brands. A tack fuse keeps the edge and any surface detail crisp; a full fuse rounds the shape into the base for a smooth finish. Clean the glass before firing and follow your normal COE96 schedule for the fuse you want.

Project ideas

The point of a precut is speed. Fusers reach for these shapes when they need a dozen ornaments before a craft fair, a set of matching pendants, magnets for a fundraiser, or accents to lay onto a plate or bowl before slumping. Circles turn into coasters, cabochons and clock faces; animals and flowers become the focal point of a small panel or a suncatcher; holiday motifs make quick classroom and party projects that fire in one go. Add a glass bail from Premium Glass Bails and any small piece is ready to hang from a cord or chain without drilling.
