Materials: Toilet paper rolls (at least 10), cardboard (enough for the base and roof), scissors, paint, glue stick, paint brush, ruler, pencil.
Step 1: Remove any excess toilet paper from toilet paper rolls. Don’t worry if you can’t get the last little bit off.
Step 2: Use glue gun to stick the toilet paper rolls around the outside of the piece of cardboard.
Step 3: Draw the triangular pieces that will go between your roof and your pillars.
a) Measure the width of your Parthenon. Mine is 8 inches wide.
b) Draw a line that is the same as the width (I will draw an 8 inch line). This will be the base of your triangle that will go between the pillars and the roof.
c) Draw a dot in the exact center of your line. You are going to use this dot to find the point of your triangle.
d) Draw a triangle, making sure the top of the triangle is exactly straight up from the center dot. The taller your triangle is, the taller your roof will be. You should end up with an isosceles triangle, meaning two sides are exactly the same length.
e) Create a second triangle the same size.
Step 4: Draw the rectangles that will be used as your roof.
a) You will need to make two rectangles for your roof. To figure out what size of rectangle you will need, first measure the length of your Parthenon. My Parthenon is 9 inches long. Next measure side a or b of your triangle (they should both be the same length). Side “a” of my triangle is 5 inches.
a) Draw two rectangles using these measurements.
Step 5: Cut out your roof parts
Step 6: Glue your roof together.
Step 7: Paint or color your creation however you want!
