By following the instructions below you will make one earring. Repeat all instructions to make the second earring. You will also need a paper towel for this project.

Please watch our video: How to Use the Vintaj BIGkick with Etching and Embossing Dies.
From what you learned in the video, place the stamping into the die. Place it so that you are getting the top part of the archway (see photo for reference).
Run it through the machine. Remove the stamping from the die.
Use the Vintaj Relief Block on both sides of the stamping to bring out the shiny brass.
Next, using a paint brush dab on Vintaj Patina to the front of the stamping. Quickly wipe off any excess with a paper towel. You may add more or less patina to achieve your desired effect. Repeat on the other side of the stamping.
Take one eye pin and string on one pearl. Make a simple wire loop, that faces the opposite way of the other loop.
Open the one side of the eye pin, same as you would a jump ring, and attach it to the stamping. Close the loop.
Move to the other side of the eye pin. Open the loop and attach one earring hook. Close the loop and you're all done!
