Material

  • Newspapers or magazines
  • Glue
  • Stapler
  • Paper clips

Procedure

  • Remove sheets from newspapers/magazines.
  • Fold the pages into narrow ribbons that are approx. 1.5-2 cm wide.
  • Staple the ribbons together to make a long snake. (You can always lengthen it after you have already started)
  • Roll the paper snake together and glue it together continuously. You can use paper clips to hold the strips together while the glue dries.
  • Widen the strips towards the end, apply glue to only half of the ribbon and slowly pull upwards.
  • To finish, glue the end of the ribbon well and secure with a paper clip.
  • Leave the bowl to dry and remove the paper clips.
