instructions

1. Honeycomb Decorations - 1 Cut sheets of coloured tissue paper into 10cm × 12cm rectangles. Trim a piece of card to the same size and mark the first side at 2.5cm intervals. Flip the rectangle over and mark the other side at 1.2cm, then at 2.5cm intervals.
   
   2 Lay a sheet of tissue over side one and glue along the guides. Lay this tissue, sticky side down, onto another piece of tissue. Flip the guide over and stick a third piece of tissue along the guides of side two.
   
   3 Place it glue side down on the stack and continue in this way to build a pile of at least 72 sheets. Trim the sides of the stack at right angles to the glue lines and cut out a semicircle. Glue along the spine of the semicircle, add a loop of cord and two small card squares for fixing, then open out the decoration to reveal the honeycomb design.
