Day 15: Harlem Macaroni Kid Countdown to Christmas

Family Traditions: Paper Chains

December 10, 2022

Christmas is our favorite time of the year. This year we are doing a craft a day until Christmas. This allows me to bond with my little ones and relax all at the same time.

Today, we are on Day 15: which means we have only 15 days left for Christmas. 

We are making paper chains for the tree. Here are the steps to make them.


Step 1: Cut lots of long, thin strips of paper

Step 2: Tape the ends of a strip together to make a loop

Step 3: Thread another strip through and tape its ends together to start a chain

Step 4: Keep on adding loops

Step 5: To add a heart-shape link, fold a strip in half

Step 6: Unfold it and bend in the ends so they're close to each other

Step 7: Tape both ends together

Step 8: Thread another strip through the heart to continue the chain.


If you want to catch up, here are the other days.
