Making Spiral Paper

[firequeen]

I saw a project on a blog with a piece of spiral paper made by wrapping the paper around a dowel and baking in the oven for a bit. Never thought I would do this so didn't save the info and now, of course, I want to try it. Does anyone know the details for making this? Any help is appreciated.

I don't have complete directions but here are a few tips if you want to wing it:
Mist paper lightly with water then wrap on dowel, tape both ends.
Place directly on oven rack, lowest setting your oven has for about 10 minutes. Turn off over and let paper cool completely before removing from dowel. (Paper may smoke a bit but don't worry!)

So, I'm very curious - what do you use spiral paper for?

Thanks, Jen

I want to use it for a little treat holder embellishment. I saw it as an embellishment on a wrapped birthday gift. Thanks for the tips lutheran.
