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.

The Tools
- White artist's paper (at most art stores)
- Scissors
- Double-sided tape
- 2-inch-wide ribbon
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.
