Ten Things to Do With a Used Bike Chain.

1. Neckwear. It speaks grunge cyclist. I would recommend both cleaning it with a good degreaser first, and taking out a few links for matching earrings and belly button drop.
2. Use it to open jars. You may need to work out a way to make little spikes on the jar lip for it to catch on, but if you have come this far, you're nearly there. Perservere. Or just bang on the side of the lid with the chain, like you normally would with the side of the kitchen bench.
3. Responsible Busking. No animal is exploited in the name of a few dollars when your snake charming snake is a bike chain. It's slinky, its slidey, its sibilant. And no one will sue, because nothing will ever go horribly wrong—except the excitement factor in your show.
4. Heavy duty beaded curtain for the fish and chip shop—while it will definitely keep out the flies, there may be issues with it also keeping out the clients.
5. Split up the links and use them as sequins. If you then use them to sew to a hiking outfit, the added weight as the kilometres accumulate will ensure your increased fitness level doesn’t plateau your weight loss.
6. A funky dog lead. This suggestion is breed appropriate—please don’t try this at home on a Papillion or Chihuahua.
7. Use them for wheels on mini tanks. These can be toys or serious infiltrating military machinery.
8. Place mats, coasters and hot-pot spots. No more melted plastic.
9. Watch fob—stylishly steampunk.
10. Boot scraper. There is great dirt attractibility to a bike chain, as all you cyclists know.
