How to make it:
- Tear off edges from three continuous sheets of pin fed computer paper so that you have two long strips of paper.
- Hold one strip in each hand and bring the ends together at a 60 degree angle, right end on top of left end.
- Fold left strip over right strip.
- Fold right strip over left strip.
- Fold right strip over left strip.
- Keep folding in the pattern of steps 3-5 until strips are used up. Your worm is complete!
