Information

      For my wife's birthday party, we all had to dress up as something she likes
My wife likes popcorn :) 
So my costume was homemade with a shirt that I made the design myself and cut out with the M1
For my costume I wore real popcorn in my hair - I'll spare you a picture of that :D

when looking at such bags, it is noticeable that the stripes are not straight and are slightly offset 
choose rotate and -3 degrees
then copy the stripe and rotate it by +1 degree
and so on until you are back at 0
then the stripe should be straight again 
mark the 3 left stripes (without the middle one)
copy these 
and reflect them horizontally
