I know this is a really weird question but my friend and I are decorating pop tabs with permanent markers (Sharpies), using them as neckless or earring charms, selling them at craft fairs or on ebay, and donating the money to charities. The permanent marker sometimes rubs off and we were wondering how we would could prevent this from happening. My parent suggested that we use a nail polish shield which protects the polish from rubbing off, however, when I did that... it smeared. So, I am wondering, How Do I Protect It??

From experiance most permanent markers are not very permanent, it should wash off with soap and water, if now try adding sugar to liquid soap thats works quite well for most things on skin(ground in oil/grease ect..)

Try covering them with polyurethane or shellac or even clear nail polish (although it too can chip off).

Prime them first with metal primer.
