This is what I have been working on for the past week. It's a large flower wall hanging made from a college catalog using the candy wrapper linking style. I had 5 of the catalogs and didn't want to just throw them away. I was inspired by Michele at MicheleMadeMe.
I started with this catalog...
Here's the inside...
After hours of folding, cutting, and linking...
Then I started gluing them around a round cardboard. Yes... it's the same round cardboard that I used for the Valentine's Heart Project. It's the famous Aldi's pizza board.
I kept winding and gluing but as the circle got smaller, I had to manipulate the links more. By the time it was really a small circle opening, I either took links apart or folded them over to try and make them fit.
Once it was all wrapped around, here's the result...
I covered the back with felt this time for a more finished look and put a little hook on the back so it can hang.
A recycled project all around.
Hope you enjoyed!

This looks so cool! Hi, I'm Lisa from Lisa Loves Holidays. I love this because whenever our family goes on a trip, we munch on Starburst candies and while we drive I fold the wrappers like this and I've thought, "what am I ever going to do with these wrapper chains?" and now, I have a great possibility!
Hiiiiiiiiiii peacheeeee!!!
Feels like forever since I've been on the blogs. I am a horrible friend. : )
That is crazy cool.. I couldn't even imagine how to start creating that.
I hope that all is wonderful!!!!
