View Full Version : What I do with my spare time...
Okay okay, so I don't exactly make these all the time... but while at school/work, I need to do something to occupy myself!

For those of you who don't know what is, it's a chain of 200-some starburst/jolly rancher candy wrappers.
Pathetic, huh?

The sad thing is, is I don't even LIKE those candies. And I think I have lesions on my throat from eating so much of them (mind you, I try to pawn as much of it off as possible).

A crappy macro... they are shiny, so hard to photograph when I don't feel like putting effort into lighting :D.
Well, just thougth I'd demonstrate how boring my life is!

That still looks pretty cool! Everyone's gotta have a hobby. :D You should try some kind of spiral that hangs from the ceiling. If you are really as bored as you say then this would be quite a challenge! :D
lol! Yeah, but it doesnt naturally spiral. Its just a big long thing. Surprisingly solid, though. And it EASILY goes around my waist and then some.
Zoe
our inmates make candy wrappers in to small hand bags and decorative baby shoes its always cool to see though
inmates? do you work at a prison?

I have a project for you zoe. this is what I did with my room. Make 80 or so origami fish and then hang them from your office ceiling with string. I also stuck some to my walls in schools of fish, and made paper plants and bubbles.

I would show you what I do with my spare time, but I'm not sure Jeff would allow me to post pictures of DECAPITATED PEOPLE! MWAHAHAHAHA!
j/k of course. :)
Shane... I eat a lot of them, but I give as much away as possible!

Wow! That's pretty impressive Zoe! It's nice to meet a fellow Starburst junkie...at least you do something creative with the wrappers. :) You should see what Invictus builds with his navel lint in his spare time! *LOL* :D

Hey those are fun! I used to help my friend in Junior High make those... it gives you something to do when you can't fall asleep and the teacher is talking about some weird fractional equations.
