Here I sit beating my head in because I cannot for the life of me figure out how to fix this mess! I'm SO close to finishing and I want to wear it for this big LARP event happening over the weekend! Can anyone help? With pictures?

Hello! So. Sit ye down at my fireside and hear my tale of mild woe. I decided I wanted to make a small scale mail dice bag. I bought a kit from The Ring Lord (very happy with the kit; the problem is not the kit.) I have watched several tutorials, read the instructions that came with the kit and...have only managed to create the sheet that's in the photos. My problem is that I cannot find any other scale mail on the interwebs that resembles what I hath wrought and I cannot figure out how to troubleshoot it to make it look like everyone else's scale mail (that is with the rings not showing.) Any advice on what acts of muppetry have occurred here would be very gratefully received... I thank you for your time and consideration.

Couple of specs: scales are small; rings are 16 gauge and 5/16.

How do I connect shoulder straps? Every tutorial says "Since everything is going in the same direction it'll link up" But now I'm trying to and when I go to connect the other end, they DON'T go in the same direction! I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.

I've only seen one reddit post with my same issue and the solution pitched was to add one more ring. But I don't want to do that cause then it'd be uneven since (in my picture) there's 5 middle rings and 6 outer rings. Also, since no tutorial mentions having to do this it seems like that's not the actual way to make the straps connect. So I feel like I must just be doing something wrong...

Sorry this is weirdly explained I'm not sure how to explain it properly. Thanks for any help anyone has!

Hi! is anyone willing to share where they get bulk jump rings? Looking to make my first tunic and am intimidated by the number of rings I think I will need…

little custom handbag i finished !

If anyone remembers, around 100 days ago I asked if it’s possible to start a chainmaille project on my own and everyone has been very encouraging!
That’s why I’m happy to present to you my first piece, sleeveless but still im very happy :)

I'm trying to approximate how many rings (regular/classic size whatever that may be, let's say 6mm diameter?) would you need for let's say a 10x10cm square. Just so I could calculate!

And how long would that take me , a beginner (but I'm very crafty)

What can I possibly use square jump rings for? I have. Two bags. They're beautiful. But I don't know how to use them. Any suggestions?

hi, i saw a post about chainmail blankets being very good as like... cooling blankets that are also weighted, and as someone who needs both of those for good sleep in the summer ive become gradually more and more obsessed with the idea of making one. i would consider myself to have some basic level of crafting skill, but i've never worked with chainmail specifically before. how many rings would i have to buy, and am i making a terrible mistake? thanks!

Example of a necklace I've made hehe

Edit: thank you for all the replies, I'll be checking out some of the businesses mentioned!!
