4. Paper Chains
You will need:
- Coloured paper
- Scissors
- Glitter
- A stapler
- PVA glue/a glue stick
Paper chains are super easy to make, but ho ho ho are they time consuming. If you have a guillotine (which you will only have access to if you work in a school) this will make cutting your paper into strips much quicker and easier. If not, scissors will have to do. It’s always a good idea to do a few test strips to check that they’re the right length and fit together properly before going to crazy, we speak from experience.
You can decorate your paper strips pretty much however you like, we’ve gone for glitter and this super cool snowflake confetti we found in the supermarket. If you have a whole day free, try doing some pinhole snowflakes for some really sophisticated looking ones. Snowflake templates are readily available on the internet and you can Blu-tac them to your paper strips and and then make pinholes along the lines of the template.
When you’ve finished your paper strips and waited the appropriate time for the glue to dry, shake off the excess glitter and use a stapler to fasten them into a chain for record completion time.
