SPIRAL
- Start with a circle.
- Begin cutting into the edge of the circle and slowly cut around and around following the shape of the outer edge of the circle.
- Gently pull out each end of the paper to extend the spiral.
- You can use this technique on any shape as long as you cut around and around following the shape of the outer edge of the object.

- Glue the strips together.

SCORE
- Cut out a circle.
- Use the tip of your scissors to scratch a smaller circle inside the paper circle.
- This is called scoring the paper. - Let the outer edge of the circle be your guide.
- Cut a straight line into the centre of the circle.
12
![Step 12](https://static.crayola.ca/uploads/9089948442143f9fb70419fda3f15838-stepSml.png)
- Gently fold the paper away from the scored line.
- At the same time overlap the cut ends.
- Glue the ends in place.
- View the paper from both sides.
- Repeat this process with more circles,
- score the first circle on one side of the paper,
- score the second circle on the opposite side of the paper.
