Start by taking your wire and place it around the
template. |

After having done the first tree, we found that keeping
the base loose and NOT glue together makes it easier
to place over the top of the tree.
Make sure to keep an overlap of 1 template spacing
(between the 2 yellow arrows). |

When you wrap the 2 wires around the template remember
to NOT GLUE the TWO ENDS together. |

You can now start using your Hot Glue gun and attach
your bamboo pieces to the strings.
Be carefull and take your time, you want to try and
avoid as many glue drips that will harden to the actual
template. That is not good :) |

Now we are ready to place the platform around the
BIG tree. |

From this angle you can see how it wraps around the
tree and where the wires merge on the right. |

Once you go all the way around the wires (except
for the 2 spaces that overlap - we will glue those
when the platform is around the tree) align the platform
to a height that you like and that will aloow the
Hutt Roof to not stick past the top of the tree. |

Align the wires together, this part might work better
with some help from a friend. |

Don't pull TOO hard, just make sure the twigs wrap
around the tree bark.
Use your Hot Glue to secure the TWO ends of the wires.
Wait till the first hardens before putting glue on
the second. |

Now we are ready to put on the remaining twigs to
hide the gap from the overlaping wires. |
