Leftie,
I've used this method to make blastbags and canvas boat covers for models. Carefully seperate 3 square of single ply toilet paper or tissue paper (kleenex), lay one on top of another and lay this on a piece of wax paper. Make up a solution of white glue and water. 2 drops water 1 drop of glue, you want the glue to be liquid and 'run freely'. Paint the solution where you will want to put the barrle through. LEt dry overnight (speed dry by use of hand held blow dryer works as well). Allow youself EXTRA material, you can always cut it off later. once dry lift the paer off the wax paper and if you feel the paper is stiff enough, if not paint it again with the solution. Once dry them spray hair spray over the paper, stiffens it a bit more and allows you to hold the shape Then you can push the barrle through them and push the part in the housung, cutting off what you don't need. paint the color as needed.
