How I made scale mail out of faux leather, in case anyone finds this useful. I used the same method for Morrigan’s camisole except that one I sewed instead of stapled.
Instructions are in the captions.
ETA: I did this instead of using actual metal scales because it was faster, lighter, and I had all the materials on hand. But if you want to be more authentic, you can buy real scale mail here.
The paint can flake a little, so it would be a good idea to start with leather that was already grey or silver.
