MATERIALS:
Foam Pipe Insulation Sharp Knife (I use a Dollar Store Retractable Knife) Glue
DIRECTIONS:
1.Take your length of foam and extend the length of the blade
2.Cut 1/4 inch pieces off the end
3.
4.
5.cut though one of the pieces
6.link through the two other pieces
7.continue cutting and linking pieces
8.From a 4 inch piece of one and half inch insulation I got an 11 inch length of chain. As this normally comes in 3ft lengths that will yield a length of chain 8ft long.
Obviously, the larger the diameter of the foam insulation the longer yield of chain you will obtain.
Finally glue the cut links so links don't come unlinked
This can be used indoors or out, but the chain will not support any weight and is purely for decoration
