Mini cardboard castle

I had all this cardboard infront of me one night and slapped it together to create a table piece for my daughters princess party

Material

7 Long cardboard rolls
1 Shoe box size box
2 Smaller boxes (jatz box)
1 Tube of glue
2 or 3 Tubes of paint colours

Method

Start with your shoes sized box and rearrange your castle towers (cardboard rolls) where you want them and trim if needed to make shorter towers. Do the same with your smaller boxes.
Start gluing your rolls and boxes in place. Let dry
Cut out the number of cones you need from cardboard scraps for the tower tops by cutting a circle with a section cut out the roll it together to make a cone.
For the box towers you only need a rectangle of cardboard folded in half for the roofs.
Glue in place
Paint 2 coats in your colours of choice
Het creative with a black sharpie to create the windows doors and decorations on the castle

Notes

Super easy one here. Made a great table decoration for a princess party

Wow! Such a great idea. I’ve hoarded so many toilet rolls for craft but have only used three so this will be something to do with my little one on the weekend.
Thank you so much for the idea. I’m sure she will have such a blast creating her very own princess castle.
