Description

Nautilus uses the Stripes technique to recreate the elegant spiral of a nautilus shell — narrow colour strips folded and threaded through the backboard, curving inward to form the natural chambered-shell pattern.

A simple, satisfying build — print, cut, fold and thread the stripes through the layout, no complex block assembly required. The whole process takes just a couple of hours.

THIS IS A PARAGAMI STRIPES TEMPLATE

The Stripes design creates the artwork by pulling folded paper strips through prepared slits in a background sheet.

The large layout is divided into three A4 sections. Print the layout, attach it to the background paper, and cut through both layers along the marked lines.

Fold the strips along the dashed lines, then pull them through the slits from the back and secure the tabs.

The complete process takes only a few hours.

HOW DO I KNOW WHERE EACH BLOCK GOES?

The included PDF layout grid shows where each block belongs. Each block is numbered, and the grid shows its orientation and, where applicable, its colour.

The printed template lines and numbers are folded to the inside of each block and will be hidden after assembly. Mark the block number on the bottom base so you can identify it during assembly.
