To do this, you can buy ready-made blank workpieces, and you can cut several “blanks” of the required shape (from any metal), drill holes in them and pass the appropriate fittings. These blanks need to degrease and paint with nail polish any patterns (or make a small inscription).

Then you need to dissolve a few spoons of citric acid in a glass of warm water. This fluid is necessary for the implementation of one of the easiest ways of metal etching. After dissolving the acid crystals, it is necessary to immerse the metal blanks for 10-12 hours. After that, the part that was not painted over with varnish will acquire an even dark color. To complete the work, you only need to gently wipe the varnish "art" with a nail polish remover and enjoy the result.

A special place is occupied by charms with images of the "second half" of polymer glyusIt should be made of white clay blank of the required size and shape (do not forget the hole for the fittings), then tightly attach to it a photograph of a “couple in love” printed on a laser printer.

After that, you need to apply formic alcohol over the entire area of ​​the image. Repeat the procedure several times, each time allowing time for the liquid to dry. Then you need to carefully roll up the paper with your finger, without touching the paint on the clay.
