using fingers flatten each roll

now take bangle, wrap a flattened roll around it

add glue to it and hold it tight to secure round shape

keep the extra part as it is, don't stick it

now add glue to end of extra part and stick another flattened roll to it

go on adding rolls (for this i used total 8 newspaper rolls)

after the glue is dried, go on coiling the paper roll structure around basic round shape
coil it tightly, don't use glue

secure end of coil using glue

make another paper coil structure (here also i used total 8 newspaper rolls)

now slightly push the structure from inside, so that we can get little lifting from center (please refer photo it is more demonstrative)

to make this shape firm, apply glue from inside as well as outside

and let it dry

repeat the same with other coil
