Materials

Stapler

1. Cut each chain link, leaving approximately 1 cm of white on one side (the printer margin is perfect).

You can use the Christmas Paper Chain for all sorts of things! Below are some ideas.

Wall

Hang up on the wall. Because the chain is made of paper, it’s quite light so good quality blu tack works well.

Tree

Hang on the Christmas Tree, or decorate an outdoor tree on a fine Christmas Day.

    These are fantastic! I also just found another use for the rings – napkin holders! Thanks for these!

    We bought a pack of 200 sheets of really bright coloured paper from Kmart for $2.00 and did exactly this. Was cheap and easy and the kids loved doing it. We also did a bit of learning with the 2yo by asking her to pick a colour and or tell us what colour we picked up.

    We made all our Christmas decorations this year and it was a lot of fun! I love your printables too 🙂

    These are just what I need because I am getting my lost tinsel in a virtual tangle LOL. I need something pretty to use instead, Thanks Kelly.
