Holiday Chains

Holiday Chains
Here is how to make these cool Holiday Chains. I made the chains shown here for Thanksgiving, but you can make yours however you want.
List of Tools Needed:
Tape
Scissors
Three Pieces of Colored Paper of your Choice
Step One:
Choose your paper. You will want to use colored construction paper, colors of the holiday. Find a smooth surface to work on.
Step Two:
Fold the pieces of paper, separately, accordion style.
Step Three:
Take one of the folded pieces of paper, and flatten it out. Cut along the creases until you have strips of the paper. Repeat with the other pieces


Step Four:
Decide on a pattern for the chain. Then, take the first strip and fold it into a circle. Take a piece of tape and put it on the overlap. Put the second color in the chain, make a circle, and put the tape on the overlap.

Step Five:
Repeat step four until you have used up all of the strips. This is my little sister with my finished chain!
Step Six:
Find a place to put it, and enjoy! Here are my chains!

Happy Thanksgiving!

To All of My Readers-
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!! I watched the New York Parade on TV today! I saw Daniel Radcliff! OMG! OMG! It was so different to see him without crazy hair and glasses, but he did a great job. He did a scene from a musical called How to Succeed in Business Without Trying.   And I saw....

  • SPONGE BOB!!!
  • Santa Claus!
  • THE SMURFS! OMG! OMG!!!!!
  • Cobra Starship (they sung part of You Make Me Feel)
  • Lots of bands
  • Scenes from Broadway Musicals
  • And More!!
I have a question to all of my readers: Did you see/watch a parade, and if so, which one? Please write your answer in a comment.
Thanks, I can't wait to see all of you answers!

The Wizard of Oz, Book vs. Movie

Dear Readers,
I have another book vs. movie post, and this one is about the Wizard of Oz. I recently finshed the book, and I noticed a lot of changes from the movie. Here is a list of things. I won't list all of them because I think that you should read the book and I don't want to spoil it!
  1. It's not red slippers, it's silver slippers!
  2. The original Wizard of Oz describes a different appearance for Dorothy, the Lion, the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodsman.
  3. They see the Wizard one at a time.
I think that 3 differences is enough, especially as they are the strongest, at least I thought! I hope that you read the Wizard of Oz!
