Step-by-step tutorial
Step 1
Start by gathering up the supplies. We used a few shades of red tissue paper for our chains. The bigger the tissue paper, the better.
Step 2
Then my five-year-old created the fan fold (back and forth). We folded several sheets together at once to make it a fast and easy project.
Step 3
Then we folded the folded paper in half, and then cut a half-heart shape. Don't cut all the way through to the edges.
Step 4
Then we unfolded the tissue paper and we had some lovely little connected hearts.
Step 5
To make the chains longer, we taped a few together.
Final result!
The kids were both thrilled to have a heart chain. They taped a few up over the windows and they liked how the light would shine through the tissue paper.
