Time to get those Christmas ornaments started! Today are making a beautiful spiral ornament out of simple strips of patterned paper. This ornament can be a show piece on any Christmas tree. So gather up those supplies and let's create....
Supplies need:
Patterned paper or Cardstock
Spacers

Beads
Measurements/Directions:
Large ~12 pieces of patterned paper cut to 12 x 1 inches
Medium ~9 pieces of patterned paper cut to 9 x 1 inches
Small ~6 pieces of patterned paper cut to 3 x 1 inches
* Cut the patterned paper to the listed 1 inch strips, then fold in half and glue together to form a more sturdy strip
* Punch a hole at the top and bottom of the strip
*Cut the twine to the needed length and tie a knot at one end
*String on 2 beads
*Thread the twine through one end of the strip, string a spacer, strip, spacer and so on until all strips are threaded
* Now thread the twine through the tops of the strips~ begin with the strip at the bottom of the stack
*Pull the twine tight to form the shape you want,then tie knot, then form a loop for hanging.

I tried to make one similar but it wouldn’t spiral correctly. With your instructions I got it to work perfectly. Now I can make a bazillion of them for Christmas! Thanks Maymay!
