No offense to all y'all out there who go hogwild for every holiday, but that's not my style. So just like Thanksgiving, we're using paper, which means two things:
1. free (yay)
2. disposable (double yay)
Pull out some paper and cut strips about an inch wide. We used random construction paper, but if you're not as lazy and want to get all fancy pants like, you could certainly use patterned scrapbook stuff. (Polka dots, anyone?)
Fold in half,
then loop around and staple.
Connect them together just like a paper chain,
and - 2 minutes from the first staple - you're finished. And officially festive.
Love it! Just emailed it to Kennedy's teacher!

ReplyDeleteadorable!
ReplyDeleteI was looking for something for us to do tomorrow on our day off of school - this is perfect!
ReplyDeleteokay if i am not too lazy to cut the paper into strips i think we might do this one. but that would require me actually getting the paper cutter down from the top shelf or trying to find a pair of scissors around this joint! super cute idea!
ReplyDeleteI dig that!! I may attempt that if I can find some paper around here...
ReplyDeleteWish I had some little ones to make lots of heart garlands with. Jackie
ReplyDeleteThis was so fun! I made some with my kids!!! They loved doing it! Thanks for the sweet comment on my blog!
ReplyDeleteTo Empty Nest Full of Life: Do you have a grammer school near by? The little one's love doing these easy crafts (with a little assistance of they really little) and the school would be extremely grateful. More people should volunteer at schools if they have the time. Many are suffering from a shortage of help and willing "teachers". I get a lot of joy out of teaching young children arts and crafts, and the children really just shine when they see the finished product. The smiles extend forever on their faces and in your heart!
ReplyDeletethis is awesome! i love it, thank you :)
