We've been having fun making paper chains.
Firstly we just cut up A4 sheets of coloured paper into strips across the width...
...but then I remembered some wonderful Eastern European embroidery designs
on some faded paper that my mum had unearthed in a dusty old shop
on a visit to the Czech Republic a couple of years ago.
A bit of scanning, slicing and sticking later....
To make them, you will need:
Good quality A4 paper (I used card from the pound shop)
A ruler, cutting mat, sharp blade, pencil, double sided tape.
You can download the three A4 sheets I used as printable PDFs here:
