Things You'll Need:
-
Step 1
Unfold one heart link.
-
Step 2
Insert half of the link into a folded heart link.
-
Step 3
Fold the link back up.
-
Step 4
Unfold another link.
-
Step 5
Insert half of that link into the link you closed in step 16, adding to the chain.
-
Step 6
Continue to add to the chain by unfolding links, inserting them into the previous link and folding them back up.
-
Step 7
Tape the last link together at the top of the heart when your chain is the desired length.
-
Step 1
Cut a 4-inch by 8-inch rectangle out of construction paper.
-
Step 2
Lay the paper on the table in front of you with the short side of the paper nearest you.
-
Step 3
Fold the bottom edge up to the top edge of the paper to make a 4-inch square.
-
Step 4
Fold the left side of the square over to the right side to make a 2-inch by 4-inch rectangle.
-
Step 5
Make a light pencil mark on the bottom (folded) edge, about ¼ inch away from the left corner.
-
Step 6
Starting near the top of the left (folded) edge, lightly draw the top half of a question mark with your pencil.
-
Step 7
Continue this line diagonally towards the bottom fold in your paper, stopping when your pencil reaches the pencil mark you drew in step 5.
-
Step 8
Make a light pencil mark on the left edge, about ¼ inch above the lower left corner.
-
Step 9
Starting about ½ inch below the line you drew in step 6, draw a second curved line and continue diagonally until it reaches the mark you drew in step 8.
-
Step 10
Cut along both pencil lines with scissors.
-
Step 11
Unfold the paper. You will have two paper heart shapes with cutout heart centers that are attached to each other at the bottom. This makes one heart link.
-
Step 12
Fold the link back together at the bottom fold, making one heart shape.
-
Step 13
Continue making heart links until you have as many as you need for your chain.
