Easy and wonderful craft for young and old
Purchase every year for my grandchildren’s Christmas Candy & Activity Bar! Quality item well worth the price! Enjoyed by young and old! Kids just love making the chain!

Great holiday project for my kids group.
They were excited to create something for the holidays that they could take home. It was easily teachable and inexpensive to do.

Parent hack!
Very easy to wet the envelope like seal on the edges and put these together. They do not come undone and we’re fun for the kids. Minus all the work of cutting them out and mess of gluing them together.
My only critique is that there are only four patterns, two stripes and two solids. These would look better if they had at least one other solid color or stripe color to separate out the pattern a little more. Kids didn’t know the difference but it tweaked mommy’s mild OCD a little bit.

Old fashioned fun?
I purchased these Christmas paper chains for an activity table at our community Cookies and Cocoa with St Nick. I was very surprised that none of the children chose to make the chain. Too familiar?? I made a short chain myself.By pinching the ends together, after licking, for just 5 seconds, the glue ends stay intact quite well. My only real complaint is that the colors could be brighter. I'm going to offer the chains again next year. Have no regrets.

Great Purchase!
These paper chains were exactly what I was looking for! Festive design and easy to use, without having to use tape etc. Was pleasantly surprised at how nice they looked.

Doesn’t work as advertised
My granddaughters love paper chains to count down to important events (such as birthdays). I have been cutting colored paper strips and stapling them. I thought self stick pre-cut strips was a godsend- the girls could have more involvement in the process
The strips don’t stay stuck. I expected them to be self stick ie post it pads. You have to wet the end like an envelope but there isn’t enough glue I ended up putting tape on most of the links.

fun and pure simplicity
loved the pre-cut paper chain strips! Vibrant colors, no need for little ones to use scissors if they're not ready for them, and there's little sticky tabs that make it soooo easy for even the very young to assemble!

So-so
We used the precut paper strips to create long paper chains. They looked fabulous in our community center. Very festive. The product states they are gummed. Though, there is something on the edge of each strip it is not useful at all for securing the paper ring and creating long chains. We used glue sticks to do the task and it was sufficient. I will probably buy this again if I cannot find precut strips elsewhere. Why only 3 stars? Because, the description should reflect the product truthfully. Or the product should reflect the description.

Pretty, but just ok quality
Got these for a 2nd grade class holiday activity. The kids enjoyed making them and the papers are brightly colored and pretty. But they had to use glue stick because a good number of the chains had no adhesive. The type of glue that you lick like an envelope was on some, but not all and it was not very effective if you tried to use it. If you know going in you'll need glue, these are probably a good purchase.

Was looking for a shortcut
Thought it would be a cheater way to quickly lick and stick. Even after holding pressure on a bit before moving on to the next one, when we were done, many came undone. Had to use tape the old days...
