  • 14 37-136-6 5mm round jump rings, antiqued brass

  • Metal punch (#69-235)
  • Steel wool
  • Oxidizing solution such as Win-ox (#86-343)

Instructions:

  2. Punch holes in all the bee charms, and a second hole in all the flower charms.
     
  3. Dip the charms into the oxidizing agent or patina solution. Once the desired patina has been achieved, rinse in cool water and dry.
