I have another chain maille Christmas ornament cover ebook tutorial to add to the list.  This one is quite different from my last one; it’s heavier, more intricate and simply gorgeous when done!

Maille Ornament Cover – Japanese Style

This tutorial shows an ornament made with a Japanese style of chaining.  If you’re not familiar with this technique, it’s joining jump rings in horizontal and vertical patterns.  The main pattern is the Japanese 12 in 2, with some connections using fewer rings.

This is a heavy, substantial ornament cover!  It’s not for the faint of heart or someone who wants instant gratification.  It uses a lot of jump rings, many in small sizes.  However, the results are breathtaking — my photography skills do not do the ornament cover justice.  🙂

If you’ve got as couple pair of flat nose pliers and a round nose plier, that’s all the tools you’ll need.  Well, aside from the jumps rings and ornament!
