Paper Chain Instructions
You will need:
Good quality festive paper - scrapbook paper or thick wrapping paper works (no construction paper)
Decorating materials - e.g. gold/silver pens, stampers (no glitter or anything stuck on please)
Scissors
A ruler
Large paperclips
Method:
Carefully mark and then cut strips of paper. These should be 20cm long x 5cm wide
On each one, write a pre-approved cheesy cracker joke on one side. You can find a list of jokes on website (please don’t make up your own jokes or use ones not on the list).
If you’d like, on the other side add some simple decoration (e.g. stamps of Christmas Trees or Snowflakes) - you can be creative with this. Think sophisticated rather than too home made!
Group these strips of paper together in a pile of 50, then hold them together with the large paper clip. PLEASE DON’T GLUE YOUR PAPER CHAIN TOGETHER! The young people will do this on CAMHS wards when their box arrives.
Make sure to take some pictures while you’re crafting and send these onto me for report #PaperChainProject.
