Use the Hot Glue to attach your lollipop sticks to
the platform in front of the marked areas of the Treehut
template. |

Continue this until you have all SIX stick in place.
This is your Hut Wall brace support. |

Now your top level is HALF a circle in shape BEFORE
the downwards angle starts. Does this make sense?
Slowly and Gently use your fingers to cause a bend
in the wires and platform. If some bamboo comes loose,
no worries, you can reattach later. |

Here you can better see what I am trying to explain
with the half circle.
If you look at the green lines that represent the
bamboo that is hidden behind my hand, you can see
that if you connect the 2 green arrows, you see a
half circle on the left and where the bend starts
with the bottom arrow. |

Once the bend is done, you can start placing it around
your BIG tree. |

Slowly lower it around the tree spreading a little
bit if it rubs against the bark paper.

Use the Hut Template to see just how high you need
to place your platform so that it doesn't stick out
on top of the tree.
The template will be available to download when I
return home after Celebration IV. |

WIth the Glue Gun, place a couple of drops here and
there where the tree bark touches the platform. |

Now for extra support and to make it movie accurate,
attach some bamboo supports under the platform.
Put a drop of Hot Glue on the bottom and after leaning
the top against the bottom of the plaform, angle out
the bottom towards the tree until it makes contact. |

Seperate your supports every 4 or 5 inches. Use your
eye to see where it looks best.
