paper chain

Interlocking strip decoration

A paper chain is a decorative garland made by linking loops or strips of paper together, typically created as a craft project by children.

Paper chains often appear at parties or holidays: We made paper chains to count down the days until Christmas.

The linked structure makes it a common metaphor for fragile connections.
