OK, first thing to do is make a template base for the floor base.

This HUTT is for the MEDIUM tree ONLY.

Take an old piece of foamcore or cut a 1 inch X 10 inch rectangle, make a hole, and then make 2 holes... 3.5 and 6 inches from the base of your first hole.

If you are making a Hutt for the BIG FAT tree, you need to make holes at 4.5 and 7 inches from the base hole.

We will soon have the Making Of pics for this BIG hut, later next week.

So now, to continue with the MEDIUM tree Hutt...

Olace a lollipop stick pr pen into the "base" hole.

Take a pen and stick it in the holes and draw all the way around.

This is what your 2 circular lines should look like now.

Use your Xacto blade knife to cut out along both lines.

After you cut along the lines your template will look like this.

Now take a pen and mark 1cm along each edge. Inner and Outer.

Do this every 2-3 inches.

You can now connect the markings to form 2 circular paths.

These will help you make you bridge supports.

Next, take a pen and poke holes along each of the lines at 2-3 inch intervals.

DON'T PUSH TOO DEEP. Try NOT to pierce the other end of the template.

Once all holes are made, you car ready for the lollipop supports.

Take a lollipop stick and put a dab of Hot Glue on the tip.
