From file to finished page

  1. Cut the large outside circle first, then cut the separate short attachment strip.
  2. Start the spiral cut at the labelled outside entry. Follow the single continuous line toward the centre.
  3. Stop at the centre stop mark. Do not extend the cut through the remaining centre area.
  4. Join the attachment strip into a short loop and secure it to the uncut centre using a small overlap of paper tape.
  5. Lift the centre gently and let the strip relax. Stop if the paper begins to tear or twist sharply.
