Paper Ribbons
Lengths of paper and ribbon coiled into airy circles and raindrops in yellow and white call to mind the spring's mix of sun and showers.

How To Make the Circle Ribbons
- Cut white artist's paper into 3-inch strips.
- Make a tight circle at one end, and secure with double-sided tape; don't cut remainder of strip.
- Continue to wrap the strip loosely, securing it at the top each time with double-sided tape, until the strip runs out; trim off any loose end.
- Use double-sided tape to secure a 2-inch-wide yellow ribbon to outside of outermost layer.

How To Make the Teardrop Ribbons
- Cut white artist's paper into 3-inch strips.
- Cut a strip for the inner-most shape.
- Bring the ends together, and tape across the joint with regular (not double-sided) tape.
- Place double-sided tape on both sides of the point, and add the next, slightly longer, piece of paper; continue until teardrop is the size you like (many of ours used strips 9, 11, and 13 inches long.)
- Attach ribbon to teardrop with double-sided tape.
