Pretty fantastic, eh? All you need is some chain, a few jump rings, and a pair of pliers to make your own. She had a bunch of chain left over, but I've been too lazy - er, I mean busy - to make one for myself.

Getting Crafty
Lauren and I like to think of ourselves as relatively crafty people - that's DIY crafty, not cunning and scheming crafty. But for the past few years we haven't done much crafting. I'd like to think it's because we've been so busy, but truthfully it's mostly due to laziness. So imagine my surprise when Lauren bought some chain at a local bead shop and put together this lovely body chain all in one afternoon.

great job on the body chain!
love it.
it looks quite good
this is great!!!!!! it's always fun making your own jewelry!!
I love this!
sweet!
Love the chain. It suggest (sounding annoyingly pompous) a reductive Elizabethan look. But I'm sure that phrase was already in your marketing copy :-) .
And again, greetings from beauteously buff Irvine.
Oooh, very nice! And so creative! I was thinking of hitting the local bead shops and making some stuff (something I haven't done in years due to laziness...I mean, busy-ness) and you just inspired me to go through with it.=)
wow, creative
Pretty cool for one afternoon's work! I can see a rock&roll look with that body chain. Is it too typical?
That looks really cool.
Hi there-well done lauren, looks fantastic! I'm sure cath when you're less busy (haha!) you'll knock up something just as good!!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE! Nice job - it looks so great!
erggg I know what you mean about being too lazy to be crafty. Being a student means homework and not very much time to act on the ideas roaming around in my head :) Like the chain, I've never seen the body chain done before
love love love that!!
Wow, this is fantastic! Well done!
cute!
Great job! It looks so nice.
I can't wait to see the types of outfits you'll wear this chain with!
very creative! i wanna try this!
P.S. thanks for a nice comment on my blog!
I've been looking for a local store that sells chain and was wondering where y'all picked yours up. Thanks (oh, and I live in Decatur).
SULTRY! What a great, easy project. Even a crafting dunce such as myself might be able to pull that one off. Well done, Lauren!
Cool project. If it were me, I'd probably make it more dramatic. Maybe several layers of chains and some cross dangles would be nice. I've got a long holiday break from my university teaching and I'll probably be spending part of my time making stuff. Over this past weekend I made a fake fur vest from Walmart fabric that turned out pretty good. One of these days when I get the batteries recharged in my camera I should take some pictures.
Cool! I think it would look great with a tank top!
Way too cool. Definitely creative invention.
ooooh i love it!!!
Very cool! I get so inspired when I see others' projects, but also tend to put them off for too long. Anyway, gorgeous work.
that's cool! kind of like suspenders too, but in jewelry form.
Nothing like a little jewelry making to make you feel creative!
Congratulations on being selected as one of Atlanta Magazine's "Best Of". Does it come with a trophy? Maybe a solid milk chocolate 12"high figure of Ted Turner, the patron saint of modern Atlanta. If so, your Thanksgiving centerpiece is set, and delicious at that!
If not, it's still kudos's to you both and a additional hearty "well done you".
And as always, greetings from beautiously buff Irvine.
Thanks, everyone, for the lovely comments!
Lota, I got the chain from the Bead Shop in Avondale estates- just email me if you would like directions ;)
