I put my foot in there to give an idea of how big it is.On the tutorial where I got the idea they had done the tubes all the same size and they were straight, not cone-shaped. It looked cool, but kinda flat and too uniform for my taste. So, I decided to do cones of various sizes and then to layer them (some of them don't reach all the way into the middle and thus stick out further on the edges). Also, the site I looked at had wired them together. That just seems like a pain, so I'm going to cut out a big doughnut shape from some sturdy carboard and hot glue my tubes to it.
That said, if you want to duplicate it all you need are some old magazines, a glue stick, some cardboard and a hot glue gun. Roll the tubes with the torn edge facing you so that it'll be on the inside, with the clean edge on the outside. Experiment with different sizes of tubes and cones. You could also do this with cute scrapbook paper, newspaper, old book pages, anything you can think of for a uniquely "you" look. :)
I'll post pics of my bedroom once I have this hung up, i.e. next week!
