You Will Need (4 things)

  • Scissors
  • Scoring Tool - bone folder, popsicle stick, etc.
  • Ruler
  • Exacto Knife

Steps (3 steps, 40 minutes)

  1. 1

    Cut out a circle (any size you want). If your paper isn't double sided, cut out two circles and glue wrong sides together. Let dry.

    Find center of circle and cut a small hole in it using your exacto knife.

    Place ruler in the center of the circle, crossing the hole you just made. With scoring tool, make two lines, one at the top and one at the bottom (refer to picture below). Turn ruler to a 60 degree angle from first line and make two more lines. Do this until there are six scoring lines on your circle (refer to picture).

  2. 2

    Using the ruler as a guide, score the purple lines in the center of the circle to make a hexagon.

  3. 3

    Now you will make creases on all the lines you just scored. Start with all the lines on the outer edge of the circle. Next fold each section up until the circle looks like a sequin. This might take a little finessing to get it just right. Your sequins should look something like the one in the picture above.
