A method of making a small chip resistor properly and efficiently is provided. This method makes chip resistors each of which comprises a unit substrate which is rectangular as viewed in plan and has a predetermined thickness, a resistor element provided on an upper surface of the substrate, and electrodes provided at opposite ends of the unit substrate. The method includes the steps of continuously forming a green sheet, obtaining from the green sheet an intermediate product in the form of a narrow strip on which electrodes and resistor elements are printed, at least the resistor elements being printed at a pitch corresponding to the unit substrates, forming slits on the intermediate product for dividing the intermediate product into the unit substrates, each of the slits extending perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of the intermediate product, simultaneously baking the intermediate product together with the printed electrodes and the printed resistor elements, and dividing the baked intermediate product along the slits into the unit substrates.
