Due to the nature of digital products, there will be NO REFUNDS, EXCHANGES or RETURNS. Please read the information provided below before purchasing.
Orders are for PDF Tutorials ONLY. No supplies are included. Supply kits for selected tutorials are sold separately from Metal Designz. Product pages contain links to available kits - just click on the Metal Designz logo.
Each project includes a list of required supplies and step-by-step project instructions. Both techniques and instructions include clear color photos to illustrate the process. Many tutorials include a Design Inspiration section with photos of design alternatives and variations (these may become future tutorials if there is enough interest).
Many of the patterns below involve the use of very small jump rings and/or tiny scales and, therefore, are for maillers with an INTERMEDIATE to ADVANCED skill level. Experience with opening, closing and using jump rings, scales and pliers, as well as proficiency with essential chain maille weaves (Byzantine/Box Chain, European 4-in-1, Half Persian 3-in-1, Helm or Dragonscale), are required and assumed. Therefore, information on these subjects will NOT be included in the tutorials.
You will often be required to work in tight spaces. Please do not purchase tutorials if you are not comfortable working with very small rings, working in tight spaces, or making sizing/weaving adjustments.
The patterns below utilize jump rings in commonly available sizes.
Due to small variations in jump rings between batches and vendors, I cannot guarantee the sizes I've listed in the tutorials will work as described. You may need additional jump rings or may need to adjust sizing or ring placement to achieve the desired result.
In 2017, new tiny scale colors were introduced (yellow and pink). These tiny scales are made of thicker metal than the original tiny scales. When working at the micro level, small variations in the materials can cause difficulties in producing desired results. The tiny scale patterns below were designed for the original, thinner tiny scales. You can read more about it in my 3-part blog post comparing tiny scales.
