    First, be sure you have all needed tools and supplies at hand :) Time to start!

    Obraz

    Take your magazine and cut out a page that you like the most. Then place it vertically on a table.

    Grab a pencil and mark off nine 3/4-inch-long (2 cm) sections at the top and the bottom of the page.

    This is how your strips will look like after twisting and stapling.

    Layer the three longest pieces on top of each other. Space them evenly and join together with a double-sided tape.

    Do the same with another group of shorter pieces. Try to make it as evenly as you can for the best effect.
