Christmas craft of the week!

Hello everyone,
I hope you are all keeping warm and cosy in this chilly weather ❄️
I'm kicking off our new, weekly Christmas crafts threads with a classic - paper chains!
Paper chains are my go-to homemade decoration because they are easy, cheap and SUPER cute. Plus it's likely you'll have most of the resources ready to go. There are so many options when it comes to the paper you can use - coloured or sparkly paper, recycled newspaper or even wrapping paper! Just switch it up depending on your desired look and budget. 🎄
What do you need?
Where can you use paper chains?
Paper chains are very versatile and work well for lots of different things, making them a decoration you can use again and again every year! I think they work great on trees, ceilings, walls, windows, staircases, furniture or even party tables if you're hosting any family or friends this Christmas. 🌟
So, how can you make them?
I've found an easy-to-follow guide on Pinterest if you've never made paper chains before. I hope this is helpful and gets you feeling inspired - https://uk.pinterest.com/pin/4433299627764371/
Make sure you give this craft a go and share your photos below - I can't wait to see what you create! And look out for these extra special craft threads every Monday running up to Christmas!

- Your paper of choice
- Scissors
- Glue (I find glue sticks to be the easiest!)
