Now that you have your tube core, we need to make
the Bark Skin.
Place your tube ontop of brown wrapping butcher paper
and measure a little longer then the tube. |

Cut your paper to size and fold in half, the tree
is thin enough that it doesn't need a full width. |

Carefully crinkle your paper without going too rough.
You DO NOT want to make holes in the paper. |

Once you are done, your paper will look like an old
wrinkled snake :) |

Once you unrap it, the miracle of treebark appears

Take one side of the paper bark and tape it to your
tube core.
This part can tape instead of glue since it will
be hidden when you glue the other end over the seam.

Take out your White Glue and spread out a whole string
of it all along your tree core.

Then place white glue all over the inside of the
brown paper bark.

Roll up your bark onto the tube core surface that
you have just smeared with glue.
Press down lightly so that the tree bark makes full
contact with the glue on the tree core.

On the ends, the bark paper will stick out. Simply
fold up inside the core tube.
