Now slowly unwrap the twisted paper. Like magic before
your very eyes... the paper will transform itself
into Tree Bark.
Pretty cool if I do say so myself. And the cheap
cost of the material will allow you to have enough
money for 7-10 trees for you home builders. |

Using white glue, spread around in a squiggle covering
a good 4 to 5 ". |

Slowly press one end of your bark paper to the Tree
Tube.
Using white glue instead of Hot Glue, will allow
you more manipulation time to place the bark in case
it slips around. |

For the BIG TREE, you can place some masking tape
while you wait for the glue to dry since this piece
will be hidden with the 2nd Bark "patch". |

Fold the bark all the way around the tube and place
the same amount of glue squiggle as on the opposite
side. |

Gently press against the cardboard. DO NOT press
TOO HARD since it can collapse. It is a Hollow Tube
after all :) |

Some masking tape can secure the paper as the glue
dries. |

Now we need our 2nd Bark "Patch". Cut up
another piece of Brown Paper at the SAME length as
the first piece and place a ruler at the half way
mark. |

Use your exacto blade or Scissors to cut the paper
in two equal pieces. |

There you go. Keep the other for another tree if
you care to do so. You just need ONE piece to "patch"
up the other side of your BIG TREE. |
