This kit contains all the materials needed for making my Patchwork Chainmaille Bracelet, the instructions for which appeared in April 2008's Bead & Button Magazine. You must provide your own tools (2 pairs of pliers). This kit comes with my own complete digital instructions (as a .pdf file sent by email).
The Kit Contains: Seven (7) packets for individual flower units in assorted colors, One (1) packet with finishing rings, including the lobster clasp and one (1) bag of assorted "extras", in case you break some, lose some or some are ugly or whatever.
You will receive a random assortment not limited to the individual units seen in this photo which you can even assort and rearrange if you wish to create the patchwork look seen here. In this way, no two bracelets are alike!

This kit comes with enough rings and findings to make 2 star keychains or a pair of earrings. The kit comes with digital step-by-step instructions (.pdf file sent to you by email), but you must provide your own tools (2 pairs of pliers).

Set of Two Pliers
You've heard it before...you need pliers to make chainmaille. You will need two pairs of chain-nose pliers to complete any of the kits above, though they can be used for many other kinds of jewelry-making . These are inexpensive and super-basic pliers, and we sell them by the pair for your convenience. Happy Chainmailling!
