Can plastic bangle bracelets be used for these projects? There are some
available here for children that would be inexpensive to practice on.
Just curious . . . :D

All of you making bangle ornaments - beware that the bangles may tarnish,
discolor or rust in a short time. I've been very disappointed with seeing this
on bangle ornaments I made just a few years ago so now I cover all the new
bangles with clear nail polish before using them. Just brush on the nail
polish on one side, let dry, then do the other side. You cannot see that it
has polish on them but it does help preserve the bangle. I have no idea what
the polish does to the lace threads as far as acidity but I feel more
comfortable giving these ornaments away knowing the metal won't look ugly in
the future.
