It takes time and patience, but little skill. The worst part is the repetition.

Isn't the correct term just 'mail'? Chain mail implies that its chain-like. Chains are only one link connected to another link. These are a lot more than just one connected to another. |

Why be a smart a**? Yes, the term is mail, but it's widely known as chain-mail too. nolofinwe: Really nice work. I tried making a bracelet once, made the main bulk of it but never finished. It destroyed my nails gonk |

Mm! I certainly did use pliers, but my trouble was I only had one pair, so I had to use my thumb the other side.
I have 2 pairs now 3nodding Makes my jewellery work a lot easier, but I still end up destroying my nails somehow O.o |

I've read about making my own chain mail, but I've never actually done it.
Do you make your own rings, or order them somewhere? |
