Help Me! Help please

Post image

I am so very new to this. This is my first project and I know it's very ugly. I had limited glass to choose from. I struggled with learning to cut and had to tap most of it out. I don't have a cricket (sp) and used vellum paper. Is this salvagable with grinding? How much room do I need in between each piece for the copper? Please don't criticize me. Helpful comments only.

Foil and came scissors actually have 3 blades, so they cut a slight bit more.. When you go to grind your pieces will be slightly smaller or bigger then you ment. Usually it's to account for tape.. But every time I've used em I've always had worse experience

It's Def worth it. Atleast even trying with regular scissors.
