Click on photo for a better viewI found this gum wrapper garland yesterday at the Volo Antique Mall. It is so colorful and I marvel at how long this must have taken to make, not to mention the amount of gum they had to chew! I hate the saying "trash to treasure", but if anything ever deserved that label this gum wrapper garland would.

I used to make these when I was in Junior High. Cool!
Oh, it's wonderful! It would truly be wonderful on an ugly Christmas tree... I haven't seen any of that in a long time. What a treat. Linda, you are just too good! You've got to be the Queen of Shoppers! xo PJ
I still have a "matching" necklace, bracelet, and ring. Oh the memories.
I've never seen a gum wrapper garland! That's a new one for me.
Oh my gosh, I have one of the gum wrapper garlands and I stare at it sometimes in my studio and wonder 'what the heck...?" and then smile to myself and think how wonderfully nutty it is!!! Can you BEAT a piece of 'tramp art' made from gum wrappers?! I mean the bottle cap door mats aren't even this great... Your's is lovely, as wrapper garlands go. "Beauty is in...." well, you know the rest. It's our motto, right?!
