1. Cut a scalloped circle from patterned paper. Fold in half, pattern side in, using the indents of the scallops as a guide. Unfold and fold again, this time using the adjacent pair of indents. Continue like this to create a radiating series of creases.
2. Turn the circle over and crease in the opposite direction, this time folding in between each existing crease so the circle begins to concertina. Ensure all creases are sharp and place the circle patterned side down. Glue a 1cm wide card disc to the middle. Pierce a small hole in the centre.
