You make a Möbius strip of a flat piece of paper; you make a Klein bottle from a tubular structure. Maybe Polymath257 can point out if I am incorrect.
That is correct.
Alternatively, the Klein bottle can be made by attaching two Mobius strips together along their edge.
I need to write up a couple of syllabi for my classes that start on Monday. Bleh.

Unfortunately, I'm not able to attach them along their edge for real in my universe.

Well, the real Klein bottle can't be embedded in 3 dimensional space. Which is why you get a straw.

Well, we've come full circle on the burning question as to how many holes a straw has. I just bought a fifth of Wild Turkey. I think I shall partake of a shot to calm my nerves. 
Great. Now we have to discuss mobius holes.
