Before action: Screw a single metal eye hook into the center of the paper. Thread the twine through the hook.

Drawing action: The twine is tied to Wayne and Janette’s hands. Wayne and Janette draw together for two minutes, keeping the twine taut. After two minutes, Wayne hammers a nail into his side of the paper and wraps the twine around it. They continue to draw for two minutes, keeping the twine taut. Then, Janette hammers a nail into her side of the paper and wraps the twine around it. They continue to draw for two minutes, keeping the twine taut. Alternate and continue drawing, pulling and feeding the twine, until the drawing is complete.
