Paper chain garland
What you will need: * Paper chain garland pdf from Kip & Fig * Adobe Reader (available for free from www.adobe.com) and a printer * A4 paper * Scissors or scalpel and ruler * Glue - Pritt stick or PVA works perfectly |
Print off the page in the pdf with the paper chain pattern.
|
Trim away the outside border in all directions - we have put guidelines on the sheet, so follow these.
|
Cut into strips - again follow the guidelines on the sheet.
|
Bend the first strip into a circle, dab with glue to secure.
|
Thread the next strip through.
|
Bend into a circle shape and use a dot of glue to secure. Then repeat the last step until your chain is the length you want.
|
Don't forget once you've bought the pdf it's yours to print off as many times as you like! When your garland gets a bit too dusty and is beyond all hope of rescue (it happens in our house at any rate), or you need to cheer up a friend - just get printing. Going to a dinner party? We think it would make a fun gift for your host - and be there next day to smile at while they are tackling all the dishes! |
