Spirelli Tutorial
August/September 2011
This technique is so easy with a little fiber and a scallop. This works with any scallop punch or die cut.
Supplies:
- Stamp smaller than scallop
- Ink
- Coloring Tools
- Scallop Punch or Die Cut
- Neutral Cardstock
- Scotch Tape
- Twine or Fiber
Step One:
Stamp the image on the cardstock.

Step Two:
Color as desired.
Step Three:
Step Four:
Step Five:
Step Six:
Turn to the front. Count 5 scallops (see note below about spacing)
and wrap the twine around the valley back toward the start. Make
sure to hold the twine tight.
Wrap the twine from the back to the valley adjacent to the starting
scallop, and wrap on the front to the scallop valley directly next to
the first. Wrap around to the bottom again.
Step Seven:
Step Eight:
Die cut or punch the cardstock with the image in the center of the
scallop.
Wrap the twine from the back to the valley adjacent to the third
valley. Wrap on the front to the next top valley. There will always
be 5 scallops between the top and bottom wrappings.

Flip the cardstock over. Align the twine with one of the scallop’s “valleys” (the space between the scallops). Adhere a short tail of twine
to the piece using the tape.
Use tape on the back to secure the twine as you work to make
sure the twine is kept taut.
Step Nine:
Continue wrapping the front all the way around the piece until
you reach the beginning scallop.
Step Ten:
Use tape to secure the last twine piece securely and trim off.
Note about spacing:
You can change how wide or how thin the spirelli is by changing
the distance between scallops, For a wider spirelli, allow for more
scallops between wrapped valleys; for a thinner spirelli, use less
scallops between the wraps.
Step Eleven:
Use as desired.
