I'm told these chainmail hacky sacks (or footbags) stall pretty well and work great as just a hacky, but on the other hand I've had customers buy them as stress balls, paper weights, or for leaving waffle-shaped bruises on coworkers (the latter use is not endorsed or suggested).

They're made out of colorful anodized aluminum. The finish is fairly durable, although if you're kicking on concrete it'll attain a sort of weathered look after a while. However - it can get wet with no problem, washes off with water (take THAT beanbag!). The filling is airsoft BBs (these glow in the dark, neat huh?). I have had people buy them to send to soldiers in Iraq because the sand doesn't bother them.

This listing is for the rainbow version, but I can make them in just about any colors you'd like. See the last photo for available colors (although most of them are on this bag!); custom orders always welcome. I will be posting listings for other patterns as I can. You can get all the colors shown here, plus black, brown, silver, bubble gum pink, light pink, gold, mint green, lavender and white (the white will not be as durable as the other colors).

They make the most awesome noise when tossed, it's irresistible! When I put them on my table at craft shows just about everyone picks them up to play with them.

Before I started making chainmaille I bought one of these for a friend who hacks (is that the right word?) so I definitely had to make them when I started doing maille. I think I've perfected the technique, finally.
