Tape the top of each support one by one using tape to the bamboo skewer. So tape one support and wrap the tape around. Then do the next one and so on... You will want that ring to stay in place so use tape to make sure it doesn't detach.

For the bottom part of the support tape two of them together. Do that for all of them. So you will end up with four groups of two supports. Now tape two of the groups together and repeat for the other side. So now you have two groups. Finally, tape the two groups together. Don't make it too tight or too loose. You want it to "lock" at the top of the umbrella from the taper of the tape. For this ring you want it to be able to slide so don't tape too much.
