Paper Chain Nostalgia

Printable paper chain strips for kids’ crafts and easy seasonal decor

Paper chains carry that warm, nostalgia. They remind us of childhood celebrations and kindergarten classrooms — and right now they’re having a moment again, popping up everywhere as a simple, joyful decor trend that feels both timeless and delightfully cozy.

It’s a great craft for kids because it’s easy to jump into and hard to mess up. You cut, stack, glue, and suddenly it looks like something—no special skills, no perfection required. It’s the kind of project kids can feel proud of without getting frustrated.

It also makes decorating easy and affordable. Once it’s finished, you can set it hang it and call it done. No bins to dig through, no complicated setup—just a simple, cheerful piece that adds a little fun without taking over your space.
