Do you make your own? What do you use and buy gear from?
@ kindergarten we used pre-gummed squares and trimmed them into strips to craft the chain loops.
I've haven't seen pre-cut/gummed strips/loops for years.

Has anyone bought ones that are the same colour inside and out (some sorts seem to be white on the inside)? One ones at The Range?
Thanks.0 -
I bought some rather expensive Cath Kidston ones last year, but we used blu-tack to stick so we can re-use them this year!0

If you have an old book you can cut up they look great made from this - and usually double-sided too0

I used old wallpaper samples in shades of red, green & gold, cut into equal-length strips & stapled together. Looked pretty impressive, if I say it myself! And the sample book came free from our local decorating shop.Angie - GC Feb 25: £119.40/£500: 2025 Fashion on the Ration Challenge: 0/68: (Money's just a substitute for time & talent...)0

I re-used pre-gummed (matt finish) coloured strips a few years running. (stored in big box!) Puss loved them being tipped out of box!
Schools ones were shiny paper.
Feel Pritt stick might be too slow and staples not very aesthetic0
