Sorry about the poor quality of photos! My first attempt to share a new cane, I followed a much better tutorial on youtube and really sorry I can't find the original link...but thank you all the same.
Started with orange cylinder, cut in 4 grooves, placed white slices into cuts, reduce, cut into 3, squish together...

Add white to top ....
roll orange- same length, squish a bit, add to either side of the bottom....
Opps missed out image; added squished pink over the top of added orange before reducing and cutting into 3, then squish together.....

Add more pink, thicker than last....
Wrap in thin black, add white to bottom, reduce, cut into 6 or 7, make center and put together....
