About: Really enjoy a good build, even if it takes months to finish. Have a horrible habit of starting projects, smashing them out and then stopping near end.


In this i'll show you how to make Can lid chains.

Very easy, and good for wasting time. :D

Step 1: Ingredients

To make a can lid chain all you need is:

   Empty drinking cans
   Scissors
   Keyring ring
   Time
   And soem Boredom

Step 2: Base of Chain

easy really.

just get your keyring ring and 4 caps(uncut).

once you have the 4 caps apply them like in the picture. so 2 are facing one way and the other 2 are facing the other. this way you wont be able to see the underneath of the cap.

important: each link must have 4 caps.

Step 3: Cutting the Caps

cutting the caps is easy.

get a cap.

get the scissors.

cut the SMALLER end of the cap.

once cut, it should look some what like the picture.

Step 4: Making Chain


applying the cut cap to the chain is the same as step 2.

all 4 are facing out of the center.

no picture sorry

Step 5: Repeat

now Repeat steps 3 and 4.

enjoy!

Step 6: Finished Chain

my main chain has 40 links or 160 caps and my smaller one i just started has 8 and a half links.

these chains are rather stylish and can be any length you want them to be!!
