Here is a few simple, short, & sweet techniques that you may not have heard of for aging your dolls, bowl fillers, & prim tags!

Need to make a prim tag in a hurry??? Dip your hang tag into walnut ink solution (mix 1 tsp. of walnut ink crystals to 1/2 cup of warm water) and place on napkin or paper towel. Dry in microwave for ONLY 20 - 25 seconds, you don't want to start a fire!!! Quick way to make the perfect tag!!!

Spray your prim dolls with your walnut ink solution, rub in some cinnamon if you choose, & let dry or place in a low temp oven (250). This provides a different appearance than that of the coffee or tea methods!!!

Want to really grunge up a doll??? To provide a really dirty effect, stain as usual with whatever method, then rub here & there with charcoal dust. Yes, the kind that you grill your brats with!!!

Thats all for now, can't give away too many of my secrets!!!
