Christmas Paper Chain
Whether you're looking for a fun activity to do with the kids or want to add some personal touches to your holiday decor, this easy paper chain project is sure to delight.
Servings 3 chains
Cost $1
Ingredients
- Construction paper or cardstock
- Stapler or adhesive dots or school glue
Instructions
- Choose paper to use for your chain. Thicker paper helps the chain hold its shape. I chose sparkle green, sparkle white, and red buffalo paper. Each piece of paper makes about 11 links.
- Using the craft knife and ruler, cut 1" strips from the paper. If you don't have a craft knife, draw lines with the pencil. Then cut the strips on those lines with scissors.
- Place glue or an adhesive dot (or two) at the end of one strip of paper. Bring the other end around and hold until the end sticks. Let dry or cool.
- Choose another paper strip. Thread it through the foundation strip, and join the ends together with glue. Let dry. Continue this step until all the paper strips have been added and the chain is the length you desire.
- Add your final link. Let the chain dry, then hang with Command strips or tape.
