Step 3

Take a cardboard circle and join two ends together, taking care to avoid making a crease. Apply a drop of hot glue and press the edges together. Hold them in place for a few seconds or until the glue dries.

Step 4

Insert a strip into one of the openings. Hold the ends of the semicircle between your thumb and middle finger and lightly bring them together while keeping your index finger at the centre of the semicircle. A fold will easily form in the middle. Fasten the edges by applying a drop of hot glue and squeezing them together for a few seconds.

Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each circle.
