Cellophane? It’s not, is it? It’s got to be some kind of plastic. Cellophane is that old fashioned crinkly stuff.
Step 0. Be born with talent.
Counted the “zig-zags” but not the ripples.
Next you’ll tell me that I don’t actually have linoleum floors.
There’s a Monty Burns meme in here somewhere (rummage, rummage)…
As an educator, I hesitate to attribute anything to talent that can more easily be explained by hard work, reflected practice, unbridled enthusiasm, and a great deal of time.

Great comment. I recently read “Talent Is Overrated” and have been convinced that while some may be born with a certain amount of innate ability it is not nearly enough to make one great at something.

What one is born with is a stubborn streak. That is all you need. It can have different names . . .
“Talent” is really a passion overlaid with a crap ton of practice.
It’s just a willingness to be bad at something long enough to get good at it that produces what looks like talent.

it is a plastic formulation.
In some countries it is a type of mylar (if it is silver colored on the inside).
in other countries it is different type of polypropylene film (if it is white on the inside).
side note: unfortunately either way they are a very difficult type of plastic to recycle in this form, the weight per contamination level both from inks and product, make them financially unviable to recycle so thye are landfill filler.
