tape-the-knotted-curing-ribbon-flat-on-the-back-of-construction-paper



To keep the project nice and flat and secure, I suggest using tape to secure the knot to the back of the construction paper.


use-flat-end-of-scissors-pressed-against-curing-ribbon-and-sweep-out-to-make-a-tight-curl



Show your child how to hold the curling ribbon (close to the construction paper) against the straight edge of scissors and sweep to the end to make the ribbon into a tight curl.

After you've curled the ribbon, you can double the spray effect by using scissors to cut in the middle of a ribbon and gently pull it apart to create two (thinner) firework curls.
