If you love sweet, whimsical holiday décor, you’re going to adore this pink Christmas paper chain garland made with ribbon. It’s a fun twist on the classic paper chain, but instead of paper—we’re using ribbon! The result is soft, durable, and absolutely perfect for adding a pop of pink Christmas cheer to your tree, mantel, banister, or any little corner that needs some festive fun.
All of the cute pink and red ribbons I used (hello Santa faces, stripes, and bows!) are from Michaels, and they’re on sale right now—so it’s the perfect time to scoop them up and make a few garlands.
Supplies You’ll Need
To make this darling pink ribbon paper chain garland, you only need a few things:
- 3 coordinating ribbons (pink Santa, red stripes, pink bows—all from Michaels)
- Scissors
- Cordless hot glue gun (trust me, this is a game changer for crafting!)
- Optional: extra ribbon for hanging
I’ll link all the supplies at the bottom of this post!
Step 1: Cut Your Ribbon Strips for Paper Chain Garland
Start by unrolling your ribbon and cutting each piece 8½ inches long.
You’ll get about 20 strips per roll, which makes a great length of garland.
If you want a fuller or longer garland, grab an extra roll.
Step 2: Make Your First Ribbon Loop
Take your first ribbon strip and overlap the ends slightly.
Use your hot glue gun to secure the ends together to form a loop.
Step 3: Add More Ribbon Links
Now the fun, easy part!
- Take the next ribbon strip.
- Thread it through your first loop.
- Glue the ends to form the next link.
- Repeat with your third ribbon pattern.
Keep going—loop, glue, thread—until your garland is as long as you’d like.
This is a perfect project to do while watching your favorite Christmas movie!
Step 4: Decorate With Your Garland
Once your pink ribbon paper chain garland is finished, you can hang it anywhere:
- Across your Christmas tree
- Draped over your mantel
- Wrapped around garlands
- Hung across windows or mirrors
- Used as décor for a pink-themed holiday party
It instantly adds that nostalgic, cheerful, vintage-meets-modern Christmas vibe. I have some other Christmas crafts that you will love here.
