The more white that's added, the bigger the circle will become......
**clarification** ... that each of the strips are of equal size, and the same # of strips on each side

I'd probably put a velcro tab on that top underneath part, to help close the opening and keep it flat. Of course, somewhat dependent on what the tree stand is like and how much of a lump it is creating.
