Review on Weave Got Maille Cleopatra Box Weave Chain Maille Bracelet Kit by Carla Anderson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The project is not for beginners!

The instructions for this project aren't too difficult to follow, but the adapter rings are very easy to deform and the paint coating on the copper rings is easy to scratch and peel, I don't know anyone but when I first figure out how to make something there is a certain amount of trial and error, but these rings are unforgiving. I bought some pliers trying to assemble this bracelet thinking that if I had a different type they would work better from pliers sold on the Weave Got Maille website but they also ruin the look and at this point I wouldn't try again. I know that grip you're holding the rings can cause damage, but you have to hold them tight enough to open and close them. EDIT: After 4 days of wearing, the temple coating has worn off even more, and the flimsy clasp has bent and lost its shape on first resistance.

Pros
  • handy item
Cons
  • so far so good

Loved it! Started a little chain maille addiction - easy to do and the final product looks great.

I love these kits. Everything you need to complete this minus the tools.
