Cut the paper into even widths with 3 pieces at 10 inches long and 2 pieces at 9 inches long, then dab some glue at the center of the strip, fold over one end of the strip while twisting at the same time, and adhere the end at the glued center. Repeat the process with the other end of the strip making sure to twist it the opposite way, then do this for all of the remaining strips, and add glue at the back center. Stack the loops together with the smallest strips at the very top as shown in the video and you’re done. You can put these on top of your gift box or any present.

How To Make A Gift Box Using Plastic Bottles
Cut out the middle part of 2 plastic bottles, then press it down flatly, and crease the seams nicely using the handle of your scissors. Open the plastic, then fold it the other way so that the earlier creased seams are now at the center, and crease the sides the same way you did earlier. Open the plastic, then shape it into a box, and insert the other piece inside as shown in the video. Put your small gifts inside before pushing them completely inside, then tie a ribbon around the box, and add a bow.
