Photographers I need your help. How do I fold up my Botero collapsible background?

I'm having a devil of a time with this. I'm new to this whole world, and this is the last piece of equipment I would have figured to drive me nuts. I can't get the thing to fold back up and into it's bag! Any tips?

Twist and fold, wrap with expandible band.

It's impossible to explain in text, but it involves holding it on both ends, twisting it until it's a figure 8, and then folding the circles in on top of each other. Repeat as necessary given the size of the background.

Thanks felix, that at least gives me a starting point. I can't believe it didn't come with directions or some kind of diagram. Kind of makes me feel like an ass :)
