10.Place the nail set punch on the top of the
rectangle wire and firmly strike the top of
the nail set punch with the hammer to cre-
ate a stamped circle shape on the rectangle
wire. When you strike the top of the nail set
punch, strike it only once firmly. Do this to
all of the G” marks that you made on the
three pieces of rectangle wire.8.Use the ruler to measure and mark the
center of the 5” and 2” pieces of rectangle
wire and then mark G” increments up and
down all three pieces of rectangle wire. This
is where you will stamp the circle shapes into
the rectangle wires.
9.After marking the rectangle wires, place
them onto a hard, flat surface. You can use a
piece of masking tape on the ends of the rec-
tangle wires to hold them in place while you
stamp them. Select a nail set punch (these
are inexpensive and can be purchased at any
home improvement store. They usually come
in sets of three sizes; mix up the sizes or
choose just one size to stamp your circles).
