Recipe for rust

 Ever wish you had a rust pin, and couldn't find what you were looking for?  Here's a quick and simple way to make your metal things rusty. DO NOT POUR THIS MIXTURE DOWN YOUR DRAIN!  You will see this warning several times throughout this post.  To begin you will need, hydrogen peroxide, salt, and vinegar: these are needed for your mixture.  To mix and rust in, pick some old container, an old cool whip bowl or a little glass vase, just not a metal container.   And for stirring, I found a wooden dowel works well.

So now, round up the things that you would like to rust. For this example, we picked safety pins and a bell.  DO NOT POUR THIS MIXTURE DOWN THE DRAIN!  You are going to need to mix equal parts of the vinegar and hydrogen peroxide, if you don't need much to cover your items, don't make much.  Add salt.  The amount of salt you add depends on how much you are mixing, for the 1/2 cup we made I think I added about 1 teaspoon.  Then mix well, and add your metal items.

Now, go grab a cup of coffee or shop, whatever, cause this will take some time.  The longer you let them soak, the rusty they become. DO NOT POUR THIS MIXTURE DOWN THE DRAIN! When they are as rust as you would like them to be, you are finished.  Let them dry on a paper towel.  If you are doing safety pins, be careful not to let them rust so much, that they don't close anymore.  Have fun rusting!
