We love crafting with paper strips.  Perfect for working on your little ones scissor skills while adding a little texture and color to your craft.  A few of our favorite paper strip crafts include our adorable jeweled Christmas tree and this oh so sweet cone chick.  Although I think that this sweet Thanksgiving turkey is not at the top of our list.  Love it!
