Make a Suit of Chainmail Armor From Soda Can Tabs

Here's a strategy that's sure to help you stand out at your next live action role-playing game, cosplay event or upscale wine tasting -- show up wearing a custom-built suit of armor.

Real armor costs thousands of dollars. But if you want to be the envy of your friends without shelling out big bucks, you can still build your own armor using free (or almost free) materials scavenged from your recycling bin. Specifically, you can build a nimble suit of chainmail using discarded aluminum soda can tabs. You'll need a lot of them, but the results will look tremendously impressive.

Unfortunately, your armor will be for show only -- it may stop gawkers dead in their tracks, but it won't stop arrows.
