Question 19
You will make strips of paper of different lengths and widths. You will need an A4 piece of paper. Use your ruler and draw a line 5 centimetres below the longest edge of your paper (see the bottom line in strip 1 in the picture below).
Measure the length of this line and draw the next strip 5 centimetres shorter and 1 centimetre narrower.
Keep measuring 5 centimetres shorter and 1 centimetre narrower for each new strip, until you have drawn 4 strips.
Cut along the lines you have drawn. You now have 4 strips of paper.
Bend them round and stick the edges together. You now have 4 rings.
Can they fit inside each other?
Now you are ready to decorate them.
