One loop, then another, and the room starts to look like a party. Cambridge Imprint's pink and turquoise paper chain kit contains 150 double-sided patterned strips, enough to make about 32 feet of chain. Printed in England, the strips come tucked into a pink wallet with a red border and snowflake medallions. Settle in for an afternoon of making with children: loop the strips together, secure them with glue, and drape the finished chain across a mantel, window, or doorway. A cheerful bit of preparation for a birthday or holiday, though no particular occasion is required.
