Paper Chain Artist Trading Cards

[shinydemon]

These cards take forever to make, but I love the end result.  I cut up flyers / junk mail and weave the paper into little chains which I then piece together. Enjoy!

OH! These are cool!  Do you make the chains the same way you do with bubble gum wrappers? If so, I'll have to try this!

Thanks!  I think my entire grade 10 year was spent making these chains out of starburst candy wrappers... My sister made a dress out of them - long story.

Yup, exactly the same.  Since I made mine from junk mail, I had to cut the paper to size.  I found 2.5" long and .5" wide worked well (the skinnier strips help cut down on the bulk - way too thick otherwise.  I just folded them in half once, and did the rest of the folding the same as with candy wrappers).
