3. Paint prepared cylinders with acrylic paints or gouache. Also they can be pasted with paper or decorative tape.
4. Connect the cylinders with glue (PVA, from an adhesive gun, etc.). Remember that the tubes must be placed in a box. Therefore, their number and assembly depends on the size of the latter.
