Paper Chain Monster Bunting

You'll Need

  • Green, purple and orange card, one A4 sheet of each colour per 30 links
  • A ruler and pencil
  • Scissors
  • Black marker, fine tip
  • A stapler or glue stick for joining the links

Step by Step

  • Cut each sheet of card into strips, 2 cm wide and 20 cm long. Each strip makes one link. You need roughly ten of each colour for a good length of bunting.
  • Before linking, decorate the strips with faces. On green strips, draw a Frankenstein stitch-mouth and flat-top hair lines. On purple strips, draw a witch hat outline and pointy chin. On orange strips, draw a jack-o-lantern triangle eyes and zigzag mouth.
  • Curl the first strip into a loop and staple or glue the ends together. Thread the next strip through the first loop, curl and join. Continue until you have the length you want, alternating colours.
  • Hang by tying a loop of thread through each end link.
