Rusty Safety Pins

Lets start with Happy Easter!

I decided to try rusting some safety pins I had.

I googled it and picked a method.  

The first method called for soaking the pins over night in bleach.  

They started rusting in a few hours.  

Look at all that rust.

This is only step one.

You let the pins soak in the bleach for 24 hours.  

Just before I drained them.  

The directions said to use the leftover bleach to clean your toilet.

It looked a little too bleak to clean a toilet with this.

I dumped it down the drain in the laundry room 

Step two is to fill with vinegar and health dose of salt.

I figured a tablespoon was healthy.  

Let it sit for another 24 hours.

Held the jar up and took a picture from the bottom. 

The third step is to let it try in the sun in the jar.  

I figure if it doesn't turn out, I will just buy some at Crosse Stitchery and Main Street Framing.

I have another recipe that uses vinegar, hydrogen peroxide and salt.  

I may try that one too. 

I started LHN My Sheep.

It is so cute and fun to stitch.  

You know I wouldn't stitch this stuff it it wasn't fun.  

I do have my list of things to get at the Stitching store.  

I need floss.  

Amazing when you have a pile of floss and you still need more.  

Hope you had a wonderful weekend and a very joyous Easter.  

We had ham and family here.  

Thanks for stopping and sharing comments. 

Keep on Stitching
