A spiral is made of one line that resembles a clock spring.
Spirals date back to early rock art as a primal decorative shape. Certain spirals, such as those at New Mexico's Chaco Canyon and Ireland's Newgrange have astronomical alignments connected to the sun, according to Stanford University's Solar Center. Resembling labyrinths, whorls of flowers, ferns and shells, the spiral adds elemental beauty to any style of decor. It doesn't hurt that spiral streamers resemble childhood springy toys, adding to their playful effect. Spiral streamers serve as inexpensive decorations for any event. With basic household supplies you can make and hang spiral streamers for a no-fuss, no-shopping decorating adventure.
Instructions
1.
2. Draw all of the spirals and cut them out. Hold the paper by the outside edge and cut along the line continuously to the middle of the spiral. This results in a curly streamer that will hang down like a sausage curl.
3. Decorate the spirals with glitter glue. Leave the spirals flat and on the table and draw lines, circles, zigzags or designs on the spirals with the glitter glue. Leave them to dry for at least 30 minutes.
4. Tape the small end of each spiral to the ceiling. Hang them according to your preference. For example, hang two rows of spirals 5 to 8 inches apart for a burst of color behind a buffet table.
