TO BUILD A BRIDGE:ALLISON COLETHE BASIC DESIGN OF MY WHOLE BRIDGE WAS TO INTERWEAVE THE STRUCTURE.I USED SEVERAL LAYERS OF TOOTHPICKS SO THE ANGULAR PIECES COULD BE INTERWEAVED INTO THE TOP AND BOTTOM HORIZONTAL PIECES. TO KEEP THE STRUCTURE LIGHT I USED FLAT AND SQUARE TOOTHPICKS TO CREATE MANY LAYERS. THE SQUARE TOOTHPICKS HAD POINTED ROUND ENDS THAT I CUT OFF. STARTING THE MAIN HORIZONTAL SUPPORTS, I USED THE MIDDLE PART OF A SQUARE TOOTHPICK AND PUT THE END OF A FLAT TOOTHPICK AT ITS MIDDLE. EVERY OTHER PART WAS BUILT IN THIS WAY. USE ENOUGH GLUE, HAVE PLENTY OF TIME AND A LITTLE CREATIVITY, AND YOU'VE GOT A BRIDGE. E-Mail Address Allison Cole
