Process:
1. Determine the required width of the hole for removing the disks. To do this, measure the diameter of the cotton pad and subtract 0.5 cm from the resulting number. You will get the optimal width so that the pad comes out easily enough, while leaving the remaining pads in place in the tube.

2. Mark the height of the hole on the tube. It is equal to 3.5-4 cm, so that in the hole you can see a stack of 6-9 disks and be able to grab one disk with two fingers.
3.Draw a semicircle at the points determined by our measurements.
4. Cut out the window using a utility knife or nail scissors.

5. Prepare paper for registration. Determine the required height and width of the tube. Using the shape obtained by cutting out the hole, make the same semicircle on paper.

8. Glue the paper onto the tube, starting with gluing the windows. Gently smoothing with your hands, move in all directions. Secure the area where the edges of the paper touch with glue.

9. Focus on the top of the tube. This option uses a strip of designer paper 3 cm wide, of a different color, similar in theme. Using it, you can hide possible irregularities along the top edge when gluing the base paper, as well as create any desired contrast or effect.

10. Using nail polish, in our case silver, paint the bottom of the tube and the edges of the hole for the discs with a strip of about 0.3-0.5 cm. Allow time for the polish to dry.
