If you have been following my blog for a while you will know that spiral strings are my favourite. With a request from
Karen Lynn I have put together a guide of tips and ideas. I have found that by dividing the spiral into sections any tangle will fit. Remember to always draw your string with a pencil and keep turning your tile. I hope you have fun with my
spiralations.
Wow! These are very cool! Thanks for sharing your creativity!
