Spirelli or just a wind up.

When I was at school and they were trying to teach us about x and y axis, kind teachers would let us practice by using a ruler and a grid to draw lines from A on the left axis to 10 on the bottom, B to 9, C to 8 etc till the resulting lines looked like a curve. You could do it on all 4 corners and make a fab pattern. Hippy crafty types would do the same with nails on the axis and use thread to make the lines.
The same principle applies to Spirelli but it can be done around a circle/ ellipse etc.

Here's how.
You need a disc with regular notched edges. You can make this by cutting out a card circle with pinking shears (zig zag edged scissors) or use a paper punch as I did here.

Any thread/ cotton will do but sparkly adds more bling.

Tape the start of the thread to the back of the circle and then wind to the front and across at a slant. round one of the little notches and back again via the next one in line, or if that's too fiddly then just wind it right round till the back looks the same as the front. Move along by one notch each time. Carry on till you get back to where you started from then tape it again at the back.

You can choose to overlay another colour. Just go from a starting notch to a different one from last time. The nearer the middle you wind, the smaller the central hole

The middle can be plain or you could add a sticker/ diamond/ whatever you like.

All I had was a Disney Princess so please forgive me!

 

This bottom one was cut out with one of those pairs of weird edged scissors that look great but I rarely seem to find a use for and can never cut straight with.
There doesn't seem to be a real use for the finished article but it is weirdly fun to do!
