HI Sarah These were very popular when I grew up in Japan in the 1960s.I have a kit with templates and instructions somewhere which I'll try and copy for you.I'm not sure if it's so popular now with fewer people smoking, or if the current packaging would work.I also wonder if there's a link to the popular golden venture unit models, as I recall seeing other modular objects made out of these wrappers - though it's all a very long time ago.
