Note: Components and tools listed within this INSTRUCTIONS box and the printer-friendly PDF, if available, may have been discontinued since this project was published. Refer to the PURCHASE COMPONENTS and TOOLS AND OTHER SUPPLIES sections for current availability.

1. From what you learned in the video, paint layer of jade and moss patina on your Vintaj Pinnacle chandelier drop. Make the two paint colors look "splotchy". Before they dry, dab with a paper towel to remove some of the patina and to create a more modeled look. Let dry. Looking at the photo, paint the middle diamond pattern using the agate color patina. Let dry.
2. Take your Vintaj relief block and lightly sand the surface to give it a weathered look and to expose some of the brass below.
3. Now take your Vintaj teensie round frog charm. Paint a light coat of agate patina over the entire front. If need be, blot the surface with a paper towel to remove excess patina. Now, looking at the photo, paint the little frog and reeds with moss and jade patinas. Let dry.
4. Take a 1" eye pin and place an Austrian crystal vintage rose 4mm bicone onto it. Create a simple wire loop after the bead. Open one of the simple wire loops and attach it to the loop at the top of the frog charm. Close the loop. Open the loop on the other side of the bicone and attach it to the bottom loop on your pinnacle drop. Close the loop.
5. Open the loop at the base of your earring hook the same way you would open a jump ring and attach this to the loop at the top of your pinnacle drop. Close the loop.
6. All done!
