Hi Alex. Sure. These things can almost be produced in one flailing set of
motions. Ever see those evil boxes opened in Hellraiser movies?

1. Grab the Technology section of the paper, skewing the section's pages.

2. Crumple from one hand. This becomes the pillow's core.

3. Spin core on both axis crumpling the rest of the paper as it is pulled
into the accreting sphere pillow. Fold and tuck in remaining edge. Voila!

4. Repeat 1-3.
