You now have a very LONG tube or CORE of your Tree
if you will. |

But we want to add some texture right? Not just paint
a tube brown, that would be boring. |

The BEST result is also the Cheapest. And works amazingly
well. Take a roll of Brown Paper used at the butchers

Place your tube and measure an extra oh say, 4-5
inches on each end. |

Use your Xacto blade or Scissors to cut the paper
to size. |

Now slowly and gently crinkle the paper like if you
were rinsing a wet towel.
Don't go TOO fast, you DON'T want to TEAR the paper. |

Now wring the paper tighter to really permanetly
put in that desired BARK effect. |

There you go. Doesn't look like tree bark you say?

Slowly unfold the paper and like magic, the bark
should appear before your very eyes. How cool is that?
Make sure not to unfold TOO MUCH. you don't want
it to go back to a flat surface. |
