Steps

A photo showing how to complete this step

Cut a coffee filter into one long spiral strip

Coffee filters make perfect jellyfish arms! Cut a long spiral strip from a coffee filter. We drew some guidelines on our coffee filter to make it easier for a younger crafter to make this project, but you can also just carefully cut a spiral about 1/4" wide without drawing it first.
