Coil party streamers

I finally tweaked this spiral enough that it will cut properly without lifting the paper. When you remove the background (or 'weeding' as sign companies call it) you are left with the spiral. Remove the spiral from the center 'tab', and as you gently pull it up it forms a long spiral decoration. This would be fun with glittery paper like metallics.

This one is approx 5 feet long.. sorry about the LOOOONNNNNGGGGG pic! lol

When you remove the spiral from the mat from the center tab it lengthens from effect of gravity.
