1 Using a ruler and pencil, cut a square of paper measuring 20 x 20cm. Fold it into 1cm pleats in a concertina style, then fold this in half. Cut a piece of doublesided tape and stick this along one of the halfway flaps, then join the two together so you have a fan shape. Repeat until you have enough fans for your garland (each wheel requires three fans). We also repeated step one using 14 x 14cm squares of paper to make smaller wheels, which means you can alternate sizes for interest. 2 Take three fans and, using double-sided tape, fix to each other to form a wheel shape. Repeat to make several wheels. Use a single hole punch to make two holes in the top of each wheel and thread through string or twine to complete the garland.
