This week my kids made a patriotic paper chain for the stair banister. I usually have them do this for each holiday because 1. they enjoy it 2. it’s a cheap craft and 3. it keeps them entertained for awhile.
First, each child picked out two sheets of scrapbook paper from the craft store.

Then I used a paper cutter to cut one inch strips. I cut about 2 inches off the length of each strip so the links wouldn’t be too big.

Then the kids grabbed glue stick and went to town making links…
