Halloween Paper Chain DIY

Make a fun and festive Halloween paper chain this spooky season! It's easy to make and super nostalgic.
Prep Time20 minutes
Active Time10 minutes
Yield: 1 paper chain
Cost: $5

Equipment

  • 1 Pair of scissors
  • 1 stapler and staples

Materials

  • 8-10 pieces construction paper in colors of choice

Instructions

  • Cut your paper into 1-2 inch strips, depending on what size of chain you want. I did 2-inch strips. This is also something kiddos can help with so it doesn't have to be uniform!
  • Wrap a piece of paper in a circle so the ends touch and staple the ends together.
  • Thread your next strip of paper through the stapled circle and staple the second strip of paper, creating a ring/loop.
  • Repeat the process until your pattern is complete or your paper chain is as long as you're wanting. You can always add more!

Notes

You can mix and match your paper types or have littles color designs on your paper before cutting to make it custom and fun. If you're making it a countdown I recommend using regular printer paper as it's easier for little hands to tear.
