This mother of a joint will knock a hole in your head!

You will need:

  • Rolling papers (preferably kingsize)
  • Some card
  • Thread or gum strips
  • Herb and tobacco mix
  • Grinder

Step-by-Step:

  1. First you need to make a large square out of some rolling papers. For a
    decent size tulip, about 11cm squared should be OK. How you make it depends
    on the size and shape of your papers. Just make sure you have one strip of
    gum running down the whole length of one side.
  2. Assuming your gum runs down the left hand side facing up, take the top right
    corner and fold it down to the bottom left corner, leaving the gum strip exposed.
  3. Wet the gum strip and fold it over to seal the triangle.
  4. Pick it up and hold it open, with the point facing downwards. Fill it with your choice of ready-made mixture. This should turn into a nice cone-shaped
    packet, ready to attach to the next piece.
  5. Make a long tube out of card, about 10cm long*. Seal with rolling papers
    or tape.
  6. Place the open end of your cone at the top of the tube and scrunch up the ends so that it closes around it.
  7. Tie up with gum strips or thread.

*A variation on this is to make a straight joint instead of card tube.
