I made sure the tip of my toothpick only went as far across the trip as the glue did, leaving the otherwise untouched. Place your toothpick across the paper in line with the top edge, so it lies perpendicular to the strip. Now apply glue across this new surface once more, but this time only along the right side. Apply glue on one side and fold the strip in half width-wise, so it stays the same length but ends up doubled over and half as wide as it was before.
