In this step you can cut the paper to a smaller size, but this step is completely optional.

Start Folding in a Zig-zag Pattern

In this step you will fold the paper alternating between the sides you fold (a.k.a. zig-zag pattern) until you reach the end of the paper.

Fold a Piece at the End for a Handle

Exactly how it sounds. Fold around a half an inch of paper at the very end.

Wrap a Small Piece of Tape Around the Handle So It Stays in Place

You will want to put some tape on the end so the handle doesn't unfold.

Cut Off Excess Tape

If you have excess tape cut it off! Leave a little bit of tape at the end so you don't have to repeat the previous step.
