Did anyone see Shark Tank tonight with Litter selling a stake in their Jewelry Body Armor Company? They said their pieces start at around retail $100 ($150 for the headpieces) and cost about $2 to make.
DIY Burberry Prorsum Inspired Draped Chain Belt. Photo Left Burberry Prorsum here, other photos DIY. This project uses an eyelet kit, but I’ve found you can use this kit for so many things (and it’s inexpensive). Tutorial at Runway DIY here.
DIY Inspiration. From Armor Jewelry, Collection 10 here. *In response to a comment on one of the DIY Body Chain Tutorials.
gretchensaidso reblogged your photo: DIY Body Armor/Chains. Top: Tutorial at Monoxious…
This looks super awesome… I wonder if it would look super awesome in real life, or just super weird?
I think there is a fine line between awesome and what was I thinking? in body chains. Go to Armor Jewelry to their collections here, and there you will find Collection Nine, Ten and Eleven which have a lot more ideas.
DIY Tutorial for Body Chain (Tutorial for chain on the LEFT, no tutorial for the more complicated version of another DIY body chain from the same blog on the RIGHT here). The tutorial is by Monoxious here.

Epiphany Thigh Chain. From the Etsy Store of INDIGO VENUS here. I like seeing all the variety of body chains on the internet, especially the ones that are more discrete (if you can call body chains discrete!).
These are the posts where I’ve featured body chains/armor: here, and DIY inspirational ones here.

DIY Body Chain for $20. Not really a full blown tutorial, but she tells you the supplies you’ll need and shows you photos of the clasps and closures and of course you can view the above photo in high res. From BeautySynergy here. And did anyone see Nina’s body chain last night on the finale of Project Accessory? It was amazing! *One photo download.
DIY Inspiration. Body Chains/Body Armour. After watching Project Accessory last week with the spiderweb body jewelry by Nina (lower right, photo found here) - put together with chains, jump rings and other findings, I think these could be recreated by someone with patience and a skilled eye. Found at Fora here (lots more photos of body chains). Lower left photo: Cornelia Webb Draped Shoulder Piece for $535 at Shopbop.
The purpose of my blog has become to catalog unique crafts that I truly love and would do myself. I love the look of handmade crafts - handmade in a good way. My crafts tend to be doable and inexpensive - because I have either done them myself or intend on doing them. "Doable" doesn't mean "simple" crafts, but rather crafts that have tutorials that are clear and easy to understand. *I will never copy an entire tutorial from any blogger because that takes away page views from their site and 99.99% of the time it violates their copyright policy. I also will not reblog a post if the entire tutorial is published without the permission of the original blogger. I will cite, if known, sources for my posts because I believe in giving credit to the photographer/designer/blogger. Also, to act like something is your own idea, when it isn't, is just wrong.
