I think I just found a new cheap craft to make... Anyone else do this? I used to make bracelets and belts, this one is new to me

i've seen full shirt mail made out of those, and my ex used to make belts and stuff out of them. definitely could make some crazy stuff out of it!

Yeah, when I see those I don't really think about pasta. You could definitely make some purses or something, a cage for a pet rock or frog.. depending on how strong it is you could take the strainer idea and make a huge one, then throw it in a river and try to catch some fish.....

I make regular chainmail and that is a good idea. Looks totally awesome.
