Can you cut a hole in a piece of paper large enough to put your whole body through?

Of course if you’re skinny enough and the paper is large enough, it’s easy. But I bet it’s hard if you’re using a standard sheet, and you want a hole large enough for an adult to go through. Is it possible? Try it yourself, and then highlight the blank space below for a hint. When you’re ready, check out the video below for instructions!


If you cut out a hole, you’re wasting a lot of paper. Instead, maybe you could make cuts that would allow you to stretch the paper out?
