Chain....

[tramcar trev]

Always on the lookout for fine chain, comes in handy for all sorts of things, from holding coupler pins to barricading statues...
I thought I was really clever when I found it at the local beading shop so I bought some various styles and paid AU$2.50/metre.... Then I check eBay!!! I can buy 5 - 10 metre lengths there for the same price; BUGGA...

At least you supported your local store...

HTO got some lengths of what looks to be the same sort of stuff, at an event he was involved with.

He was giving away freebees which were like a military dog tags, and he came home with a few in his pockets, something that I have added to the "May have a use for one day stores".

Jewellery chain is usually the cheapest (and easiest available).

The other place you could try is bead shops, they sell chain by the metre.
