How to Make
1.Print out your free download and cut each of the paper chain strips out.

2.To begin your paper chain, you’ll need to make your first link. Take one of your strips of paper and make this into a loop, securing it at the end with double-sided tape.

3.Thread another link through the inside of your loop and adhere the ends together as before. Repeat this step until you’ve used all of these strips of paper and you are left with a colourful, fun paper chain!

Now you have your finished paper chain! You could make a super long chain to deck the halls with, or lots of smaller chains!
