·Two Rulers
·Paints and Paintbrush (optional)
·Scissors
·White Glue
·Cellophane Tape
·This booklet
Some Assembly Tips and Notes:
There are five pages of parts for this paper Parthenon project. You should cut out
the pieces and glue them down to the cereal box cardboard then cut the shapes
out again.
I use a cotton swab to apply the glue evenly to the cardboard, then I place the cut
out paper piece on it and press it down smoothly. The picture below shows how
to do it.
Solid Lines - Solid lines are cut lines
Dotted Lines - These are fold lines. You do not cut them you fold along the line.
Tip for folding along dotted lines:
I use two rulers to make the fold nice and straight. The picture below shows you
how I do it.
Step By Step Assembly
This assembly assumes you have already cut out and glued all the pieces to
cardboard and now you have all the pieces ready for assembly.
1. Fold the base pieces so it looks like the base in the picture below:
2. Assemble the two pieces that make the inner building then glue them to the
base.
3. Tape or glue the sides of roof to the base of roof:
4: Tape or glue the roof onto this so the roof unit is complete.
5: Secure the roof to the inner building by running glue along the top.
This is what it will look like:
6: If you haven’t done it already you should cut out the spaces between the
pillars on the four outer wall sections. Be careful and take your time with this. It
can be a bit tricky to get it to look really nice.
7: Now glue all four sides (or tape) to the outer edge of the building. It will look
like this:
8: You are now ready to paint! Have fun with the painting and thanks for building
this project. If you send me a picture I will post it to my website! You can contact
