How to make spiral streamers:

Take a sheet of heavyweight construction paper or card stock (8.5 by 11 inches is fine) and use scissors to round off the corners.

You could start with a perfect circle by tracing a plate, but perfection doesn’t matter, and it requires an extra step that doesn’t make a difference in the end result. Just quickly round off the corners so you will start with a rounded rectangle or a rounded square.spiral shape drawn in blackThen start cutting the spiral. Begin from the outside edge and start cutting a strip about one inch wide. Work your way around making a long continuous spiral until you reach the center.
