Foam Chainmaille

Yeah, you read the title right. Chainmaille made out of craft foam.

Watch Adam Savage geek out about it (also paint): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8KmARIgCdY

I'm having some trouble finding 8.5"x11" black craft foam, but I did find this: https://www.michaels.com/foamies-9x12-craft-foam-sheet/M20000715.html?dwvar_M20000715_size=9%22%20x%2012%22&dwvar_M20000715_color=Purple

It's 9"x12", 2mm thick, and $0.49 USD per sheet.

I've also found that my local library has a makerspace available at no cost!

How many doors are open to me now that chainmaille doesn't have to weigh 30+ pounds? Many. Many doors.
