This is an easy trick to do, and a great way to recycle a notecard the fun way!

Steps

  1. Grab a 3 inch by 5 inch notecard and fold it long-ways in half.
  2. Cut long the fold side. Start in about a 1/4 inch, and cut down about a 1/4 inch. You can throw away the scrap piece.
  3. Start on the folded side, and cut about 1/4 inch away from the side of the paper. Stop cutting when you almost reach the edge of the paper.
  4. From the open end, cut about 1/8 inch away from your previous cut. Again, stop when you almost reach the edge of the paper.
  5. Now, on the folded side, cut about 1/8 inch away from your previous cut. Once again, stop when you almost reach the edge of the paper.
  6. Repeat steps 4 and 5, going on until you have no more room. Make sure that your last cut is from the folded side to the open end, just like we began in step 3.
  7. Once you have completed cutting, carefully open your notecard, separating the cut pieces.
  8. Carefully stretch the notecard until you have a circle shape.
  9. Step through the circle! Be careful not to step on the circle because it might tear if strained too hard.
  10. Enjoy amazing your friends!

Tips

Warnings

  • ALWAYS be careful with scissors. Supervise or help children, and be careful, as these are small cuts and you might cut your finger!
  • If you decide to use a scrap notecard, ask other to make sure you can use it before you cut. What you think is trash might be important to others!
  • Don't step or pull on the notecard hard or else it will tear!
