Now we need to create the CENTER cover that will
fit OVER the Tree Top Base.
You want a circle about 6 inches wide. No overlapping
needed for this circle. |

Use the Hot Glue to secure the two ends together. |

Hot Glue some rods onto the wires. Place them all
ligned up one next to the other.
Make sure they stick out at least ONE inch from the
wires. |

After an hour or two the entire circle will be covered
with rods.
It doesn't matter if yours don't look exactly the
same. you will be trimming the edges later... |

Flop the platform over, and Hot Glue all long the
inside of the wire. This will make sure your rods
will not fall off the wire. |

Now use some scissors to trim the excess rods. Follow
the wires but DO NOT make it a PERFECT circle. |

Now your center "plug" if you will can
go in the center of the TreeTop Base.
As you can see, this hides all the missmatched center
edges you get from making the base. |

Now attach your fencing all around the base using
your Hot Glue gun and 2" pieces of bamboo rods.
Leave a GAP if you will be placing a ladder to connect
with another base. |

Ane there you have it. Your TreeTop Base is complete.
Just place it on the top of your tree.
When you finish making 2 or more trees, you can
connect them together using ladders. |
