Cut off some cross-shaped chunks from the chicken wire using a bolt cutter. Then cut the ends off again at an angle to make them sharp. Watch out for flying bits of sharp metal hitting you in the eye.
Bend the sharp wires as shown. You're done!
Be super careful with these nasty things and don't leave them lying around. These are only to carry in your pouch at the renaissance festival as part of your costume.
Just in case.

I’ve had to drive the work truck over big patches of them in CA and it’s like having the tires “studded” for snow, come to think of it, they would probably be great for that.
Some tire shops can fill tires with solid foam. It not only adds lots of weight, it makes tires flat proof. I had the tires on a compact tractor filled by the dealer before it was delivered. One of the tires got away from one of the techs who was trying to roll it across the floor. It ended up trapping him against the wall in a corner of the shop. It took three men to upright the tire and free him. He wasn’t hurt.
I’ve never had flats on that tractor. It’s the go to machine for mowing the nasty stuff.
