I can build a tent?

This week in  geometry math I a made model of a tent. They had to be 3D and  have different shapes. I used  equilaterals and squares. 

An equilateral is a  half triangle.

I found It very tricky because you would do something and it would collapse. 

I think  it was collapsing because of the amount of clay and not a lot of tooth picks.

To make it we used the moulding clay to stick the toothpicks into and and I used more tooth picks to act as support. 
Here are some photos:

 

To make the model  we had to use:

Plasticine clay

tooth picks 

mine was very stable in the end. And I needed to use lots of toothpicks.

It was all a bit frustrating in the end. I had some clay extra so I made furniture.

I made a chair (that sort of looks like a toilet seat) under the chair I made carpet. and a bed.

If i did it again I would change how much of the clay I used and the design.
