please help with DIY jean question!

[jdavis]

i have a pair of edwins that i'm fairly fond of - except for the rivets being too pristine....

can anyone help me with some tips on aging/corroding rivets on jeans? i'd love to have the rivets looking less like they just came from the factory if you know what i mean.

any answers would be much appreciated too. thanks!

wash it?

wear them more often?

hmm...maybe sand it down.....take away some of the shine?

I don't have any edwin's but I assume that the rivets are copper, if that is the case and you live in the united states Micheal's Craft store sells a product to speed the weathering of copper [url=" http://modernoptions.com/"] <a href="http://modernoptions.com/" target="_blank">http://modernoptions.com/</a> is the website of the company. Ammonia will do it too (you could just urinate on your jeans) or a mix of salt and vinegar sprayed on will do the trick too

hmm thanks guys - both of you. i'll definately try the salt and vinegar mixture, and or some kind of ammonia solution (but not the one that was suggested :|)
