Quick Tip: Paper Chains

We saw these cute paper chains at the Snow & Graham booth at the National Stationery Show last week. Don't let elementary-school memories of construction paper chains turn you off -- we think a grown-up version would look amazing at a rehearsal dinner or semi-casual outdoor reception.

The new Snow & Graham kits come with pre-cut paper strips, but if you don't like the patterns they offer (most are holiday themed), it's no problem to make your own. Just pick out paper in different colors and patterns that fit your theme, and cut out strips in a uniform size. Then, curl the paper into loops, using double-sided tape to secure the loops around each other and form a chain.
