Have you ever seen videos on TikTok where people are filming themselves making paper chains? Yes, this could be the new trend this holiday season.
From the type of paper used, the gluing, to tips on the most "magical" way to place the decorations, those videos explain how these paper decorations manage to be as resistant as possible.
Searches for "paper chains" on Pinterest have increased significantly. The virality of this trend is also being exploited by many stores, which are increasing sales through artisanal decorations.
What is behind this comeback?
Some consider it a throwback to childhood, others simply an indicator of the economic crisis. Although, according to Pantone, white is the color of the year, these decorations show the opposite. They are proving that many of us, especially during the holiday season, are looking for more bright colors and all the nostalgia that comes with them.
Explanation: Pantone is an American company known for its color system.
As a child, the holiday season symbolized a variety of colors, lights, and sounds. According to designers, this trend reinforces the desire to slow down the pace of life. In addition to nostalgia, crafts, according to them, also bring benefits for mental health, since making them is considered therapeutic.
