For the roof manipulate the sugru-toothpick sections into a circular shape

To prevent the toothpicks of the roof from moving another layer of rolled out sugru is placed midway along the length of the toothpicks around the roofs circumference

Balls of sugru are placed at the top of the toothpicks on the four corners of the structure and the roof is carefully placed such that the sugru is stuck to the toothpicks on the roof

And we have our sugru shack!
The last step is just to leave the Sugru on the structure to cure. Remember not to touch the sugru after you are through to avoid cracks!
