Putting it together
Building the throne room
I imagine that the 12 Olympians would have had a throne room where they looked over the world
Step 4: I used the large popsticks to make the furniture that I think they would have sat on.

Making the water fountain
There were 12 Olympian gods in the greek Pantheon at Mt. Olympus. They are Zeus, Hera, Posiedon, Demeter, Athena, Hestia, Apollo, Artemis, Ares, Aphrodite, Hephaestus and Hades. I imagine that the Pantheon would have had a water fountain which I designed as part of my original drawing.
Step 3: To make the water fountain I began with some polished stones and attached them to the board with the hot glue gun. I then attached another cardboard roll which I had painted blue to look like water. I used some strips of cellophane and glued them inside of the roll to look like a bubbling fountain. I trimmed the cellophane and then added some glitter glue inside the stones to make it look more realistic.
Among the Greek gods were the Olympians, the Olympians resided on Mount Olympus under the eye of Zeus. They lived in a greek Pantheon which is what I am recreating.
Step 2: I used some cardboard rolls to make columns. First I stuck them together with masking tape to get the correct height. I mixed together some pva glue and water which I used to stick on some tissue paper and give the columns a stone or aged look.
In the beginning..
Step 1: I started with a piece of mdf board approximately 30 cm x 40 cm. I basecoated the board to look like the sky.
