a tiny möbius strip I created with a simple plugging method and foil.

Crafting and assembling this tiny möbius strip with 14 pairs of "plugging cuts" and the plugging method was quite easy - But doodling an explanation of the assembly is FAR from easy!

How the fuck do I simplify my reasoning and explain that in a simple manner?

For now I give up. That is the awful unsorted ideas I scribbled down today.

I might consider splitting it in multiple steps and rethink how I name the points. In todays scribbles its just a confusing mess and is not helpful for explaining it. (I also make it more complicated than it actually is)

Splitting into multiple steps:

1st: How to create the base strip (where the cuts go.)

2nd: assembly

2.1 (the merely simple basics) of this plugging method

2.2 möbius strip versus torus - how to assembly this strip and how NOT to.
