Disposing or using old bike chains ?
Im starting to get too many old bike chains and looked into solutions.
Ofcourse using for crafts or displays would be preferred to garbage dumps.
I found some good examples at:
https://www.designrulz.com/product-d...cycles-wisely/
Here are some cool ideas pictured below. Looking for more good ideas. Ever see any jewery perhaps gold/silver plating for belt, wrist or neck jewelry?

My artistic endeavors with used chains is limited to breaking the chain into 3-4" lengths and planting them under my blueberry bushes. Apparently those acid-loving plants need iron. Then every year I like to bake a blueberry tea cake with fresh blueberries that is a work of art.
Might also work on azaleas, etc. (the iron fertilizer, not the teacake!)
