Designer Tips

Place the embossed blanks on the rubber block and polish the high points with the reliefing block. Use a EuroTool polishing pad to create a mirror finish.
Attach the finished squirrel charm to the loop of the eye pin. For best way to open and close loops, see Jewelry Basics 101 below.
