paper spirals

another birthday party is under way!  Molly is turning 4 and having a fairy tea party with her bestie – Presley

These two girls are as different as night and day but they both love a girly tea party :)

In this post: paper spirals (not sure what else to call them!)  As I said before – Arre gave me the idea by attaching a much smaller version to my birthday present (she is an expert at creative gift wrapping)…so here are my directions!  They are easy and make a big statement!

I started with a 12x12 piece of paper

fold it into a triangle

and then again into a smaller trainge

start cutting on the side that is folded (not the open side that you can see above) but do stop about an inch away from the bottom

i made my cuts 1” wide…but I needed them to be “sturdy” since (hopefully) they will be hanging in trees..they are fun and more delicate looking at 1/2” wide

keep cutting

 

open it up

take the inside corners curl them in to reach each other and tape (or hot glue like i did)

flip the paper over and do it again with the next layer

keep flipping over and gluing (or taping) alternating sides until you finish

 

voila!

 

 

stay tuned for invitations!
