Heads or Tails Chain

This week’s theme at Heads or Tails is “chain.” Make any kind of post using any form of the word “Chain”

Early memories of Christmas decorations remind me of the times I spent making chains out of red and green construction paper. In elementary school we would make long chains so our teacher could use them to decorate our classroom. There is even a wikiHow article about How to Make a Christmas Chain!

I still play with items of color, as you can see over at Winding Threads. I need ideas on what to make from my purchase.

   I remember making those and I remember helping my kids making them, too. School paste. I can still almost smell it. =)

   I remember making those in my younger days! It was always so much fun but always created a huge mess!

   I almost forgot about this. Actually, as soon as I saw you pix I hit my head…. ‘dang it, I could have blogged about gum wrapper chains’. We used to make those in school. I had one that was over 20 feet long.

   I loved making those chains. My mother always provided us with lots of construction paper and tape. My brothers and I would sit for hours making them. She used them to decorate our Christmas tree. By the time we were in high school, most of them were fading and falling apart. I wanted to buy some pretty garland to replace those tacky things. I had a hard time understanding why she would want to keep them. Now, of course, I understand all to well.

    Those were the good old days. This made me think of making them with leftover wrapping paper, or even old Christmas cards!
