You can just use about anything to stick the magazine rolls on, ive used a food tin, CD spindle top, a bottle of a fizz bottle and a square plastic box cotton buds came in.

Start by ripping out a page from your magazine. Trim the edges if you need to.
Next start rolling the page up from the corner closest to you, keeping it as tight as you can and not letting it unravel.
When you get to the end corner, add a drop of the hot glue and wrap the corner round still keeping it nice and tight until it dries, carful not to burn yourself.
Make as many as you want or measure around the tub your using with a bit of string and the length will be the amount of rolls you need. Hope that makes sense.
This were made with just smaller bits of magazine.
Gather the tubs or tins you want to decorate.
Then begin gluing the rolls around the tubs, keeping them inline as possible.
Trim the bottom and top so it looks like this then repeat the last few steps.. trim them in stages, it'll be much easier.
It should look like this.
To make the loops, take a small piece f pipe cleaner and stick one side in one tube, miss one then put the other side in the other. So every other one if that makes sense.. I hope.
With this, I just trimmed the bottom and left the tops spiky. And for the lid on the small round one, I drew round the bottom with cardboard then cut it out and stuck scrap magazine bits around it.
