chain mail armor made from weed wacker string. Its cheap, cool looking, and easy to make. (this will not stop a sword!!) cool for costumes if you can find black or silver. or just spray paint when done.

stuff you will need:
1. a roll of weed wacker string
2. a cutting instrument (i used a gerber)
3. time and patience!

cut strings into about 1 foot sections as many as you will need to make a full top. also cut about 6 inch sections for the connecters.

Connecting

use the small pieces to weave the larger circles together....you will make circles about 1/2 inch in diameter. continue until you have the size and shape you want, and enjoy!!
