Construction paper, scrap, magazines, or pages from old hymnals, Bibles or a book can make beautiful paper chains, which are so simple, every kid in
kindergarten makes them. However, it’s what you can do with the chains that
makes people notice.
Making the chains:
1. Cut strips the same length and width-8 ½ (the standard length of paper) x 1
inch wide would be good to start with. Use a rotary or paper cutter if making
lots of links.
2. Take one piece of the cut paper, hold the ends of the paper together to
form a ring and staple, glue or tape the ends together.
3. Thread another piece of the cut paper through the ring, bring the ends
together and secure as in step 2. Continue until you have a desired length
Projects using paper chains
Tree: Figure out where you want the tree
to be-wall, back of a door-and make green chains long enough to go from top to
bottom. Link the top of the chains together-they’ll be bunched up and let flow
to the bottom. Leave room for a paper trunk (made from brown paper) and maybe
even some presents.
