Cut colored paper into strips about 1 inch wide and 8 inches long. You’ll need several strips for each chain including brown for the reindeer, white for the snowman, and alternating red and green for the Christmas tree.
Form the first paper strip into a loop and secure it with glue or tape. Then thread the next strip through it and repeat until your chain reaches the desired length.
For the reindeer, glue googly eyes and a red pom-pom nose on the top link, then add hand-cut brown antlers.
For the snowman, attach eyes, a small orange triangle for the carrot nose, and a black paper top hat.
For the Christmas tree, add green paper “branches,” red ornaments, and a gold star on top.
Hang your festive chains across doorways, stair rails, or windows. They bring a sweet, homemade feel to any space and making them together feels like counting down to Christmas with laughter and gluey fingers.
