Crush several sheets of newspaper into balls,
getting the size you want. Use masking tape
to secure the balls to the ends of the tube.
Using torn strips and glue mixture, place
three or four layers of strips over the entire
"bone". Shape ends while damp, adding
more strips as desired to give the ends a
"bone" shape. Dry and paint with paints.
They are lightweight and make great props.
