- In the right quarter of the circle, place your pipe cleaner.
- Add some pieces of clear scotch tape to hold the pipe cleaner.
- Fold it back over.
- Add clear scotch tape to keep the edges together.
- Fluff it out, separating it and fluffing it until it is like you like it. (I like to give the base a little pinch.)
