For this project, materials are pretty cheap. You should be able to find most of these at home.
* any magazine
* a box with a clear top, I found mine at Michael's
*a long string, mine is approximately 2 feet, but it can be however long you like as long as it fits around the box.
* a plain white piece of paper.

Rip 'em Up!

Take your magazine and flip through the pages. Find bright and color full pages, and rip out however many you need. For me, I only needed one page and another page ripped in half.

This step is simple. Just take your magazine paper and was into a ball.

Then pack thaw ball into the container.

Get Out That Paper!

This is a very simple step. Just take your blank sheet of paper and rip an oval, rectangle, circle, square, etc... and write whatever you want on it. I usually write my name, but for this instructable I will write love. You can also cut the paper with scissors, but I like the way the ripped paper looks.

Time for Your String

Take the string and repeatedly wrap around the box. Then tie a knot right where you end the string. After that, you have 2 choices, you can take the string and knot it off where there's alot of string left or a little, depending on how you want to do it.

YYYAAAAYYY WERE DONE
