Make your own Millennium Dome

Have you always wanted to build your own Millennium Dome but don't have the cash-flow of the British Government?

Worry not! We at sensibilium.com have compiled these simple instructions for you to build your own dome from common household items.

What you'll need:

1 small pot of toxic white paint.

1 orange or 1 grapefruit.

12 toothpicks (preferably wooden).

1 sharp knife.

1 pair of scissors.

1 small pot of glue.

1 A4-sheet of grey-coloured paper.

1 roll of sticky-tape.

Several coloured pens.

Instructions:

Slice the orange/grapefruit into the shape of the dome with the sharp knife (Children: Ask your parents to help you with this).

Scoop out the innards of your dome-slice (eat the innards, if you wish).

Paint the skin of your orange/grapefruit dome with the white paint. Leave to dry (go and have a cup of tea).

Fold the A4 sheet 3 times along the longest length as shown by the dashed lines in Figure 1.

Draw the dome sides on the folded sheet as shown in Figure 2.

With your scissors, cut along the line you drew (Children: Ask your parents to help you with this).

Now unfold your dome-side, and wrap around the base of your now-dry fruit dome.

Mark off with your pen the point at which the sides meet, and remove from your fruit dome.

Cut off the extreme edges of your dome-side, and carefully cut the edges so they meet smoothly.

Use your coloured pens to decorate your dome-edge (add doorways, windows, etc.).

Put glue around the lower edge of your fruit dome, and carefully wrap your dome-side around it.

For extra strength hold the dome-side edges together with the sticky-tape.

Allow to dry (go and have another cup of tea).

Finally, stick each of your toothpicks evenly around your fruit dome, step back and admire your work.

Why spend billions?
