I have been experimenting the last couple days. The gold heart was shiny gold yesterday, and today it looks like this.
Now here is what you need to have and the directions:
If you have this magazine you will find this article and all you need to know about changing those shiny gold charms to a beautiful verdigris color.
Tips:
I wanted fast results so I dipped mine in the solution and let it set for 30 minutes and then took it out to dry and then did it several more times that same day. And it happened quicker than I thought.
Have fun if you have all the elements to experiment.
AWESOME! Love it! Thanks for sharing!

oh jackie,
what you can do on a day full of snow...i like it! i must try it, but right now i am knee deep in piles of stuff...when you live in an old house with very little closet space you tend to cram them full and i'm such a "saver". a friend of mine once told me that i'm a crap magnet and she might be right...oh my! until next time...

I have several of those charms but never use them because they are so shiny, thanks for the information. Now I need to get to the store and buy a sealer, if only I could get out of my driveway.
