200 Antique Bronze Round Circle Metal Stamping Blank and Crafting Tags 20mm Diameter Metal Blanks

slightly smaller than i had anticipated but my own fault otherwise the product is exactly as described.

These are a bit thin and do need to be cleaned, then polished if you want a shiny piece. This can easily be achieved by scrubbing with 000 steel wool, or even lightly and quickly using a wet Brillo pad. You can then polish them with a polishing cloth ( I use the Sunshine brand sold here on Amazon) and can get a really nice shine on these blanks. They look more like a slightly darker brass, than bronze, but still very nice color. Maybe a patina can be applied for a darker, richer look, but I haven't tried that. They are a bit on the thinner side, but can be stamped and domed, so long as you don't use to much pressure/weight on your tools. You may need to try it out on a few blanks before you learn how hard to strike on them so you get the outcome you are looking for. If you are okay with these being a bit on the lighter/thinner side, you will be happy with this purchase. , All in all, I find these to be pretty nice in quality where you can obtain a good quality finish with just a light cleaning and some hand polishing. All for a very nice price.

I wanted to try these after reading the very mixed reviews. They ARE very thin, but I found them easy to work with. On my first try, I stamped "love" and it came out very shallow. It looks fine and is readable, but I decided to try something different on the second one. For "joy" I placed a thin piece of cardboard on top of the metal block, under my tag. This gave me a nice, deep impression. I had to apply much less pressure than I usually do when stamping, and I found this to be a good thing. I like that they are light, and there are so many in the pack for such a great price, that it's no big deal if I mess a few up. That takes the pressure off and makes stamping even more fun.

Really thin but difficult to stamp at the same time. A lot of them were bent, one completely in half, when I received the product. But they're cheap and good to practice on.

these are a good size but easy to bend if you are not super careful! Definitely get a thicker gauge of you are a beginner! But they are nice!
