The good news is, that it actually gets less stressful over time and you end up with much less to worry about because you always have the security of knowing that everything’s taken care of and ready to go well ahead of time.

You think it’s going to be a big complicated, elaborate thing, because it looks pretty snazzy, but really it comes together super quickly with some scissors and hot glue.It’s also super cheap to make and gives any little area of your home a good ol’ fashioned fun kinda feel.. You know what else?

Perfectionism is just not welcome to the party when you’re making paper chains.You can make them with your kids and even if the strips of paper get cut to all different widths and there are glue strings everywhere, no one will even notice because they’ll just be distracted by all that cuteness..If you’d like to vote for paper chains, or any of the other garland-style crafts, simply head on over and “like” Paper Chains for President over on Facebook and cast your vote.. I’m just kidding.

That’s not really a thing.You were getting a little scared about what this world is coming to there weren’t you?.

I still think my chain is pretty cute though!.

It cost quite a bit more, but it’s something we think we’ll love for years and years.. We also picked up this really simple pendant while we were there.We wanted something a little nicer than the fluorescent thing that was there before, but we didn’t want it to compete with the star of the show..

The Edison bulb we picked up for it isn’t quite the right shape, so we’ll have to go back for another one, but it’s still pretty cute..The overall effect.
