It’s Chainmaille Contest Time: Show Us Your Hodgepodge or Surprize Creations!

We’re not sure if it comes as a shock to anyone but us, but our Hodge Podge and Chainmaille Surprize sale packets are really popular. So much so that it made us wonder, “What do customers DO with all this?!” 

Are you making spectacular creations? Are you playing around and testing weaves? Do you just like sorting metals and sizes? Whatever the reason, we though this would be a fun excuse for a contest!

If you’re not familiar with these sale mixes, here’s the deal: Hodge Podge mixes are bags of base metal rings in various sizes; Chainmaille Surprize are bags of rings in various sizes, metals, colors and components. Because of the vast size/weight differences, it is difficult to know exactly how many rings are in each pack, but the total number should be between 200-500, with most packs having about 350 rings.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE:

Make a project which primarily uses B3 Hodge Podge or Chainmaille Surprize rings. Please see the complete rules and details below for more information about qualifications.


Take a picture of your project and email a photo of it to [email protected]. Please provide your name and an email address we can use to contact you in case anything goes wrong with your submission—or if you are the winner of the contest!

Submissions will be closed at midnight, Wednesday, May 21, 2014, and are limited to 2 entry pieces per person.

The winner – voted on by the B3 team – will win a $50 B3 Gift Certificate and will feature YOUR project in a special blog post and possibly even future B3 ads to inspire fellow chainmaillers all over the world.
