This is the final product. I only posted both photos so you could see what they looked like before the soak out and with the mylar. Sorry for the confusion.
Oh yeah, the mylar ones sparkle! I have mylar and have only used it once so far. I made the heart LOVE earrings in DBC but didn't get a chance to give my Mom her's and I never even put mine on. Next year I have to try mylar ones!
