Spangles

I made my first set of spangles! After figuring out that I needed to work on a hard surface with a hard(metal) hammer, I was able to punch out about fifty of them in less than an hour all together. I'm guessing I'll need about a hundred per gauntlet, SO tomorrow afternoon, I'll be back to work on those. I will need to figure out how to sand the edges, some are sharp, evidence the slashed figure tip on my left hand. After punch I was able to use an awl to punch the center, I suspect I'll need to use a beading needle to sew them on, but otherwise, they came out well!!!

yeah!!!
