TIPS:
* Create stamped metal tag from 24-gauge copper sheet or use copper dog tag (#44-780-01)
* Make a decorative spiral out of copper wire.
* Cut the paper image to fit behind the peace sign, using the charm as a template. To seal, cover the image on both sides with
Con-Tact paper. This paper should be smaller on topside of image and slightly larger on backside of image. Attach to the charm.
* Add resin to blank spaces in the peace sign. Be careful not to overfill.
* Use paints to decorate the backside of the contact paper.
* Seal stamped plated and charm with Renaissance wax.
