After eating the delicious candies, twist the candy wrappers and make cute ribbons. All you have to do is twist. It's very easy but don't make shoddy ribbons. Be careful that the ribbons are symmetrical, or you will have trouble in step4.

Join the Ribbons

Connect the ribbons with the bond. The wrappers are very slippery, so it's a little difficult to paste them together. Don't be impatient and wait patiently until the bond gets hard.

Use six ribbons for each line and make six ribbon chains. Here, show your aesthetic sense!
