craftgrrlHello ladies! Just a lurker here looking for some advice. :)
To make a long, nerdy story short, I have a bike chain that has some rather dorky sentimental value to it. I was thinking about making it into a couple of bracelets or a belt or something, but I don't really have a clue about how to go about it. I've never made jewelry before, and I don't actually own a bike so I've never worked with a bike chain either. Do I have to wash it first or anything to get it, er...unlubed? (wow that sounds dirty) Does anyone have any experience with this sort of thing? I tried googling and checking the memories here but didn't see anything. Any help would be much appreciated :)
