How to make Cotton candy

Concept When sugar is heated, it becomes a liquid caramel. If you continue to heat, the sugar burns out. When caramel is pushed out from tiny holes to the outside by using the centrifugal force, the cotton candy can be made. The cotton candy making machine can be made with…

How to make Tumblewing (Urdu Video)

Tumblewing A tumblewing is a paper airplane which rotates about a horizonal axis.
