Reinvent the 80’s gold chain craze with this amazingly easy fabric version! All it takes is a bit of scrap yarn or fabric strips, and basic crochet skills. This makes a great last-minute gift, or a quick way to spruce up a boring outfit.
This project was created by David Morgan, a Bronx, New York-based accessories designer with a shop called Chauncey P. Graham. He is also a blogger and is the Project Coordinator for BurdaStyle! You can find more about him in his blog, Yes, David Is Here

Hah…I guess I didn’t know what a “dookie chain” was. The kids who come into my art room refer to poop as “dookie” (globs of finger paint, for example: “oooooooh that looks like dookie!”) Sorry, I had to laugh when I saw the name of this project. A lot. But it’s a cool idea! I feel like it’d make great garlands for the holidays, too—wrapped around a tree or on the mantle or hung from window frames.

lol I know Renee. I thought the same thing. But I did a bit of research and that is indeed the name for those kind of chains :)

Using up my scraps of fabric is always a great idea. I cant throw them away and I cant keep up with them. I will have to try a couple of Dookies chains.
