Using a Furnace or Kiln. 1  1. Obtain silica sand. 2  2. Add sodium carbonate and calcium oxide to the sand. 3  3. Add other chemicals, depending on the glass's intended purpose.  4. Add chemicals to produce a desired color in the glass, if 1  any. 5. Place the mixture in a good heat-resistant crucible or holder.  6. Melt the mixture into a liquid. For commercial silica glass, this is done in a gas-fired furnace, while specialty glasses may be created using an electric melter, pot furnace or kiln. Quartz sand without additives becomes glass at a temperature of 2,300 degrees Celsius (4,172 degrees Fahrenheit).
