Anyone reading this into making chainmaille (still -- I know some of you were at some point)? I need a handful of smallish links for a necklace; I don't think commercial jump rings are strong enough for my comfort. I'm a fidgeter and don't want to lose the cool new pendants I just ordered. A heavy gauge wire, with the loop about the size of a thicker ball-point pen would be perfect. I can pay, and reimburse for shipping.

I want a new lanyard for my thumb drive. I know I can make a funky one if I could just find the little clips. Anyone know what they're called or where I could buy them on their own? The buckles themselves are called slide buckles, they're plastic, and I'm looking for the 1/2" size. BUT they need to have the little loop coming out the bottom to attach to the drive.
