3. Center the tube on the fabric with 2" of fabric overhanging each end of the tube
4. Put glue on the center portion of the fabric that will be covering the tube, but don't glue the fabric that is to overhang on the edges
5. Carefully wrap the fabric around the tube, pressing to make sure it sticks well
