Genuine chainmaille from pop tabs

Step 5 Repeat

Keep making the links, do them all at once, do them in batches. Either way, its pretty easy to make them.

One note: If you are using cutters, you can bend the tabs first, if you are using scissors you have to cut them first.

I'm going to use this for airsoft battles

[LuciferJr]

it probably wont work well seeing that there are a lot of holes in it

[Delo97]

Ok, but I think I'll use two sheets for them to have one to cover the other

Huge amount of work for something that is structurally weak and a tactical nightmare. If you need armor, wear a jacket. If you need more, wear two jackets. If you need still more, then play Nerf instead. This mail is awesome, but it really won't help on the field. Maybe as a little decorative patch on the back of a glove or something, but that is about it.

Well, I just want something for non-professional, friendly battles. I am currently using cardboard.

This thing is epic!

Just one question:

Does it really matter whether you cut or bend first? Oh and I'll be using wire cutters.

Thank you!

 Bending first is usually the best option.
