By Jyotsna Shenoy

REQUIREMENTS:

• Thick chart/calendar paper
• Scissors
• Pen/Marker
• Ruler
• Glue

PROCEDURE:

• Take a thick sheet of paper and draw rectangles of dimensions 10.5cm into 4cm.
• Cut out the rectangle strips.

Follow the steps as shown above.

• Take a strip and fold it in half.
• Fold it further to make 4 equal creases lengthwise.
• Fold both flaps inwards.
• Fold the strip in half.
• Fold in half to form a width wise crease.
• Fold both ends of the strips inwards to meet the small crease.
• You obtain one such folded piece.

Repeat STEP 2 to get several such pieces.

• Take two ends of a piece and insert it in the flaps of another piece.
• Repeat the step until you get an open paper chain of pieces joined together.

• Join the first end of the chain to its rear end to get a closed paper chain.
• Repeat STEP 4 until you get several such circular chains.

• Arrange each chain one on top of the other to form a cylindrical shape.
• Apply glue between each of the interfaces.

The vase is ready! It can be used as a pen/pencil holder!
