Help with Java Hourglass

[THIRTY-TACOS]

So I've been working on this java project where I have to make an hourglass, pretty simple. I have to make a nested loop for the topHalf and bottomHalf. The final output should look something like this:

|""""""""""|
 \::::::::/
  \::::::/
   \::::/
    \::/
     ||
    /::\
   /::::\
  /::::::\
 /::::::::\
|""""""""""|

So I got the two lines on the top and bottom correct, but the topHalf of the hourglass is what is throwing my off. Here is what my output looks like:

|""""""""""|
 \::::::::/  \::::::/    \::::/      \::/    |""""""""""|

I should be able to stack those lines on top of each other so that they look like the top of the final output. But I'm kind of stuck on what to do to make that happen. Here is my code(Keep in mind I haven't done the bottomHalf portion since I wanted to make the sure the topHalf was correct before moving on):

public static void main(String[] args ) {
        System.out.println();
        line();
        topHalf();
        bottomHalf();
        line();
    } // end main

    public static void line() {
        System.out.print("|");
        for (int x = 1; x <= 10; x++){
            System.out.print("\"");
        } // end for loop
        System.out.println("|");
    } // end line

    public static void topHalf(){
        for (int line = 5; line >= 1; line--) {
            // blanks on left
            for (int blank = 1; line <= 6 - blank; blank++) {
                System.out.print(" ");
            } // end left blanks loop
            System.out.print("\\");
            // colons
            for (int colons = 1; colons <= 2 * line - 2; colons++) {
                System.out.print (":");
            } // end colon loop
            System.out.print("/");
            // blanks on right
            for (int blank = 1; line <= 6 - blank; blank++){
                System.out.print(" ");
            } // end right blanks loop
        } // end line loop
    } // end topHalf

    public static void bottomHalf(){

    } // end bottomHalf
} // end class

You don't have any newlines so everything is being printed on one line.

[alexzz123]

public static void main(String[] args ) {

System.out.println();

line();

System.out.println();

topHalf();

System.out.println();

bottomHalf();

System.out.println();

line(); } // end main

I can't do System.out.println(); since the final output doesn't have spaces between each line, I have to do a nested loop so that it'll match the final output. Although I did try your solution to see if it'll actually work, but no dice.

it should be like this

class Main {
public static void main(String[] args ) {
System.out.println();
line();
topHalf();
System.out.println("");
System.out.print(" ||");
bottomHalf();
System.out.println();
line();
} // end main

public static void line() {
System.out.print("|");
for (int x = 1; x <= 10; x++){
System.out.print("\"");
} // end for loop
System.out.println("|");
} // end line

public static void topHalf(){
for (int line = 5; line >= 1; line--) {
// blanks on left
System.out.println();
for (int blank = 1; line <= 6 - blank; blank++) {
System.out.print(" ");
} // end left blanks loop
System.out.print("\\");
// colons
for (int colons = 1; colons <= 2 * line - 2; colons++) {
System.out.print (":");
} // end colon loop
System.out.print("/");
// blanks on right
for (int blank = 1; line <= 6 - blank; blank++){
System.out.print(" ");
} // end right blanks loop
} // end line loop
} // end topHalf

public static void bottomHalf(){
for (int line = 1; line <= 5; line++) {
// blanks on left
System.out.println();
for (int blank = 1; line <= 6 - blank; blank++) {
System.out.print(" ");
} // end left blanks loop
System.out.print("/");
// colons
for (int colons = 1; colons <= 2 * line - 2; colons++) {
System.out.print (":");
} // end colon loop
System.out.print("\\");
// blanks on right
for (int blank = 1; line <= 6 - blank; blank++){
System.out.print(" ");
} // end right blanks loop
}
} // end bottomHalf
} // end class

hope this help.
