Mini Paper Chain Wall Art
Create a mini paper chain wall hanging using just a few supplies. With the included pattern template, this easy DIY project transforms simple materials into a stylish and personalized home decoration!

Let's Get Started

STEP 1:

A)    Print out the template to use as a guide for color placement.

STEP 2:

A)    Cut cardstock into the strips needed to make the pattern. Tip: Be very precise when cutting the strips so that the finished piece is neat and properly aligned.

a)    You will need 3/4" x 6" loop pieces in the following colors and amounts:

                                          i)         7 Pink, 9 Purple, 12 Green, 14 Light Blue, 16 Dark Blue

b)    You will need 3/4" x 3" connector pieces in the following colors and amounts:

                                          i)         7 Pink, 9 Purple, 12 Green, 14 Light Blue, 5 Dark Blue

STEP 3:

A)    Use the edge of a table to pull each strip of paper back and forth.

B)    This will add a smooth curve to the paper strips.

C)   Use this technique on all of the loop pieces and connector pieces.

STEP 4:

A)    Hot glue all the 3/4" x 6" loops so they are completed and ready to use. Tip: Keep the seam overlap the same when gluing so the finished loops are uniform in size.

STEP 5:

A)    Follow the color pattern on the template to gather the loops needed to make the first strand. Note: Connector pieces should be the color of the top loop.

B)    Insert a connector piece between the first two loops. Add hot glue to the connector piece and press the ends together.

C)   This will make a smaller loop and connect the main loops. Repeat the process to connect the remaining loop on the first strand.

D)   The first strand is now complete!

STEP 6:

A)    Slide the first strand onto a wood dowel.

B)    Continue making strands and sliding them onto the wood dowel, using the template as a guide for color placement.

C)   Finish making all the strands and adding them to the wood dowel.

STEP 7:

A)    Add a piece of jute to the ends of the wood dowel to act as a hanger.
