cause it to rise

3. Join all the sheets together by taping along the longest sides
4. Make the long sheet into a tube
5. Seal one of the ends of the tube with tape
6. Seal the opposite end at 90 degrees to the previous seam to make a pyramid shape
7. Cut off one of the corners so that you have a hole of about 15cm in diameter
