Step 1

Find two plates, one of which is smaller than the other. Draw around the larger plate on a piece of cardboard. Use the smaller plate to draw another circle on the inside.

Step 2

Use a craft knife to cut the carboard, forming a ring shape.

Step 3

Take a paper bag, making sure that the folded side is facing up. Using your glue gun, make a line along the centre of the bag. Lay another paper bag directly on top and repeat until all 8 paper bags are stuck together.

Step 4

Using sharp scissors, cut the folded part of the paper bags off.

Step 5

Cut shapes out of the sides making sure it’s symmetrical on both sides.

Step 6

Now for the fun part, pull the paper bags open like a fan to reveal a beautiful pattern.

Step 7

Attach the paper bags to the cardboard ring using a glue gun.

Step 8

Make a bow from ribbon and attach a loop of twine to the top. Hang it on your front door to be the envy of all your neighbours!
