I just came upon these, but apparently they have been around for awhile and are a fallback to the days when we made these chains out of gum wrappers. We thought they were adorable and will be making and selling them to raise funds for Hope House International.
Here is a link to the best step-by-step directions that I could find on the internet, in case you would like to make one, too.
Apparently, you can make them from all different kinds of things including newspaper (covered in celophane), wrapping paper, gum wrapper, candy bar wrappers, cookie wrappers, and more!

Those candy wrapper purses are so cool. I want to make one of those one of these days. Wonderful MIFS!
Very clever! I remember making chains from gum wrapper, but that's all we ever made-
chains.
This is a great idea and it should do very well for your fund raiser.
Good luck.
Fabulous!
Oh how fun! I was just thinking about chains from gum wrappers recently and that I don't remember how to make them. Thanks for posting! :D
What a cool idea! I want an orange one, but who is going to eat all those reeses? hehe

Love those candy wrapper bags.
