How do you get such perfectly round holes?
When I poke a sharp object through piece of paper it does not look like this, this looks like a paper punch.

Hi, for delicate materials i sometimes use a hole puncher. But for think pieces of card and plastics i use the Makedo safe-saw.

Before you can punch this hole, don't you have to cut the ends off even?

[makedo-able]

Hi, yes you can trim off the ends to make it even or you can create another loop below it just like the ornament in the background. :)

How do you go from the 5 strips in a previous step to the nine I see here?

[makedo-able]

Hi there,
Sorry i will fix the instructable, It should be 9 strips for this one rather than 5 strips for a simpler one. :)

Cute! I like how you used the marbles to space them out!

Very similar to your last ornament - but very pretty.
