How do you build a wigwam for my project at school with the right materials?

Answer 1

Hi! I'm doing the same project for school: here's how I'm going to do it. First, buy some wires. You can get any kind (gardening, etc.) just make sure that they're strong and easy to bend. Take the wires and crisscross them. Bend to make a dome shape, and then you can glue them or whatever to a piece of cardboard or a styrofoam board. It doesn't matter, just make sure that it'll stay in place. Buy artificial leaves, or you can go to an Asian market. They sell alot of strong, tough, bamboo-like leaves that are perfect for the project. That's what I'm using. You could also use tree bark, but that might be a little harder to collect. Overlap leaves (you should probably know how to do it since you're doing a project on wigwams) on top of your wire dome, and then just glue/tie in place. (USE TACKY GLUE BECAUSE YES, THE LEAVES DO FALL OFF THE WIRES EASILY!!!!!!!) Then take some strong string, or dental floss, and wrap it around your wigwam a few times to hold it in place. You can use some that's the same color as the leaves so it'll be a little less noticeable. Cut out a door, windows, etc. But make sure to let the leaves dry BEFORE you do this, or else your whole wigwam will fall apart. Hope this helps! =] <3 Carolyn
