How could gum wrappers attain a woman wax nostalgic? It happens while she’s teaching her two daughters how to make the sort gum-wrapper chains she made when she was 12.

The difference today? Gum sticks still arrive in silver foil, but the color-charged paper sleeve is difficult to get.

No matter. Today’s candy makers have given us plenty of substitutes for crafting wrapper chains, and craft stores offer a smorgasbord of bank-notes, including brightly patterned origami papers, that elevate this craft to a higher level of elegance.
