Take the small strip cut out and apply glue on any one side of it. Hold the folds together along the straight side of the pattern. Attach and wrap the folds held together with the glued strip to secure them. Press the strip firmly on both sides to make sure that it is glued nicely with the folds. This end will be the top end of the tree.
