It kept on falling over. Try to make an arch without having it fall over. Try to use tape or glue and any kind of matrial that you think would stay together. I used paper that kept on falling over cause it didn't have enough weght into it so it fell over. Hope you try it!!! P. S. try to make it look like the st. louis arch.

It didn't really work because it wasn't strong enough.

When I did it I used 17 cups. I called every 2 cups a box because they were the bib cups. So it would have been 8 1/2 boxes. It turned out to be 44 inches tall. I had them close enough so that 1/2 a box would be enough for the arch part. I did not need help from a trained octupus!!!

Well, when I built it I measured it in inches. It was 10 feet high. It was so high so I have to used a ladder (small). The arch stayed there for a month and half.

When I tried mine it got it at least as high as 52" because I could walk through i,t but then when I went to measure it my dumb brother knocked it down so I didn't get to measure it exactly, so I figure since I am 52" tall it had to of been at least that high.

Mine fell a lot, but when I got it to stay up, it was tall enough for a 5ft person (me) to fit under it.

I got an arch 6 feet tall. My dad is really tall so he had to help me with the top boxes. My friend Colby M. helped us and together the arched stayed there for 3 days.
