Book 2 — A Novelty Chain

Reading edition

An inexpensive chain for hanging painted glass panels, transparencies or photographs can be made by joining paper clips together to form the links. A box of 100 clips will make a chain about 10 ft. long. Such a chain can be made in a few minutes and a length of 10 ft. will hold about 4 lb.

The Paper-Clip Links may be Joined to Make a Chain of Any Desired Length

If the chain is to be used for holding photographs, each inner loop end is bent out slightly.
