Repeat the same process for the other side. If you
don't have white glue, you can also use your Hot Glue
gun. |

Press against the tree bark to secure the wall in
place. |

Now the best thing to use for the Hutt Roof is to
use actually keep with actual organic materials like
straw brooms.
You can use hand sweepers or street brooms. |

Use an Xacto knife to slice away the brislles of
the broom. |

After a few swipes, you will have a couple handfulls
of brissels. |

We need to make a roof support to glue the brissels
onto.
Start with a rectangle of 3.75" X 12.5"
wide. Want to draw a guide line half way accross 6.25"
and from the bottom 2.5"
Then draw a football shape kind of pattern.

Test it out
with regular paper first to make sure it will round your
tree bark. I will place an exact download pattern when I
return home in june. |

Now I have transfered the patern onto a brown cardboard
(almost paper thin) and added 5 little tabs at the
top. This will help us secure the roof in place. |

In order to make the roof even more realistic, we
want to draw some brissles with a marker pen.
Start by dividing your drawing area into 3 sections
like in the picture.
Note: Using a thicker black or dark brown marker
works even better then the ball point pen I used. |

Looks like a giant mustache :) This was our first
attempt, after taking the picture we added even MORE
lines with a DARKER marker.
The trick is to make it look like it would be made
of layered brissels. |

Now take a little bunch of the broom brissels and
hold them together at one end.
This part works better with a friend, but do-able
with your 2 hands and your mouth :) |
