How Do You Make A Greek Column?
The architecture of Greek columns were developed thousands of years ago in Greece. There are three main styles of Greek columns: Corinthian, Roman Ionic and Doric. The Doric is the plainest column with a decorative base including flutes that come to a point. Roman Ionic stands very tall at nine times the width of the column, along with having at least 24 flutes starting above the base and not coming to a point. The Corinthian is also tall but very slender. It has a smooth column with a non-decorative base. Decide how tall you want the Greek column. The height of the Greek column can be up to nine times the width of the column. Buy PVC piping that is the length you are looking for. Wrap the pipe in chicken wire. Put on a coating of drywall joint compound over the chicken wire and completely cover it. Allow it to dry for two hours and apply another coating. Apply another coat of drywall compound and make indentations using a plastic spoon. Start from the top and work your way down. Make
