[h-cost] Hippy craft projects
Does any one know of a surviving chainmail armour tunic made from pull tabs(pop/beer cans)?I have two books on how to recycle pantyhose, fabulous volume of jeans embroidery, and some misc craft ideas like the bottletop scraper rug and creative uses for winecorks. I have seen photos of nifty armour, but never seen it up close and personal. ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

No, although my husband told me that one of his fellow students in high school spent a lot of class time making chain mail armor out of soda pull tabs.

Re: [h-cost] Hippy craft projects
Do you specifically want pop tab chain mail info, or regular chainmail info also? 'Cause I know a guy who does the latter.
