2025 Spiral Globe Ornament

Thumbnail of a printable image that can be used to create a globe ornament, with instructions at the bottom.

John Nelson’s near-annual globe ornament blog posts are always a revelation. With the exception of the one time he went to 3D printing, they’re paper craft exercises that show just how many ways you can run card stock through a printer1 and end up with a reasonable approximation of a globe. This year’s, which uses spiralled vertical strips instead of gores, is no exception.

See also the ArcGIS Blog mirror, the modifiable ArcGIS Pro package, and a roundup of his past craft ornaments.

Notes

  1. Unless, like me, your only printer is a monochrome laser printer. (Grayscale halftones are the opposite of festive.)
