I've done what some would probably call "cheating".
By wrapping and glueing the paper around a toothpick, or a bamboo skewer, or even peices of copper automotive wire. The advantage is you get a remarkably strong tube. The disadvantage being that it's not "pure" paper. But sometimes you need that extra strenght to allow you to do something crazy.
