Take one strip by the end.  Take the strip from the other side of the
printout and put the end at right angles to the first end.  O.K. ASCII
picture time:

	+---+-------------------------------------
	| 0 | O  O  O  O  O  O  O  O  O  O  O  O
	+---+-------------------------------------
	| O |

Take the horiz strip which is under the vert strip and fold it over the
vert strip so that the perf hole marked 0 is three deep.  Repeat with the
vert strip folding.  Repeat the whole process.  The perfs get out of sync
since the there is some paper in the fold but who cares.

The end result is a paper spring thing.  Long ones could be used like
strung popcorn for tree decoration, short ones like tinsel.
