Metal Round Earrings
You'll need:
Round brass washers
Gilders paste
Craft glaze
Antiqued brass chain
Jump rings
Earring wires
Instructions:
Hammer the brass washings to give them texture.
Apply Gilder's Paste to brass washings. Simply rub the paste onto both sides of the washer using a soft cloth - a cotton T-shirt works very well, or use an old washcloth.
Let the paste dry about 10 minutes.
Rub again with the cloth to remove excess. Sand the surface and sides of the washer with either fine sandpaper or a nail file.
Polish with a polishing cloth.
Seal with Diamond Glaze or a lacquer sealant for metal. Seal one side and let dry about one hour, then glaze the other side.
Use an antiqued brass chain to loop and stack the washers together onto the earring wires.
