1 Copyright-free image

Tools and supplies: side cutters, round-nose pliers, chain-nose pliers,
lowercase alphabet stamp set (#69-244-01), liver of sulfur gel (#86-324), Renaissance® wax (#86-915)

TIPS:
* After transferring the image to the metal disk, stamp a word of your choice using the lowercase stamps (#69-244-01).

* Patina the disk and then apply the Renaissance wax ti seal the image. Apply with a soft lint-free cloth.

* Trim the prongs on the bail. Since the metal disk is thin, cut the back prong off completely.
