Favorite Sport Paper Chain

Why

Create this fun, dangling chain to show off your favorite sport or team. Use Crayola Total Tools™ to add to the fun!


Steps

1. Cut long strips of colored paper at least an inch (2.54 cm) wide with your Crayola Total Tools Ultimate Cutter™. Overlap the ends of one strip and use the Crayola Total Tools Staple-Free Stapler to hold them together. A cool design appears when you connect them! Slide another strip into the first loop, overlap the ends, and staple them together to make another link. Continue until your chain is the length you want.

2. Decorate your chain with paper cutouts of equipment, pennants, or athletes from your favorite sport. Draw objects or portraits with Crayola Markers. When you cut them out with the Ultimate Cutter, leave a tab on the top. Attach the tabs to the chain with the Staple-Free Stapler.

3. Hang your chain across a corner of your room, on your door, or suspend it from the ceiling! Make chains for your friends or holidays, too!
