This is a classic for a Christmas tree. They have been around for decades.

You will need multi colored construction paper, scissors and glue

Cut the construction paper into strips- 1-3 inches in width.

Fold the strip and glue the edges of the first circle in the chain

Fold the next link through the center of the first link and glue it closed.

Repeat until the chain is the size you want.

It’s a very simple, yet potentially time consuming, project for children of all ages. You can use it for your banister, tree or any inside decorations.
