Halloween Paper Chain

Remember making construction-paper paper chains when you were little? Just me?? Well, here's the grown-up version that can be used for any holiday or party or just for fun.

Here's all you need:

pretty scrapbooking paper (mine was 60 cents per sheet)

scissors

ruler

hot glue gun (trust me, you do NOT want to use tape)

First:

Turn your paper so the back is facing up. Use your ruler to trace 1 inch sections so that each chain is the same width.

 

Second:

Cut on the lines. Then cut those strips in half. You should have strips that are 6 inches long when you're done.

Third:

Make a full circle with one strip and glue it together.

Then slide another strip through it, and glue in a circle around the first one...

Then keep on doing this until you run out of paper, or get tired of gluing ( I stopped because of the second reason).

Last-- Hang it up! Mine will be moved to hang by the windows.
