Finish Metal Clay Charm
8. Use a metal hole punch to punch a hole in the top.

9. Use a q-tip to dab some Silver Black, rinse with water, dry, and then rub with a polishing cloth until it's the color you want. This will help the image of the bird show up better.

10. Finally, slip a jump ring into the hole and use pliers to close the jump ring.

Make two and add ear hooks for a pair of earrings, or just keep this one solo and slip onto a small silver chain or ribbon.
