So as her birthday is approaches, I have decided to throw her a fairytale party. As I was looking through Pinterest and other websites, I decided to get a head start on figuring out the details.
One thing I thought would be fun is a play castle.
I had seen some castles that you can buy pre-made at hobby lobby, but I wouldn't be me if I took that route first. So I decided to figure out how to make one on my own. I looked up different materials I thought could be helpful, but I settled on tri-fold presentation boards.
I started by laying the boards, white side down. I folded one flap so it made a 90 degree angle with another board. I glued the flap properly, then repeated on the other side with the thirds board.
After I finished glueing the boards together, I took a piece of fabric and glued it to each open end and folded the flaps backwards.
As you can see from above, I cut some windows in the castle. These windows also allowed me to make the castle more "complete."
(she wanted to be in the shot)
Once we got it all glued together, we decided to put it upstairs in her playroom. Here's what happened next. :)
She wanted all her toys in her castle.
Then decided daddy needed to have "lunch" in the castle too.
I remember when he use to make fun of guys when they would have tea parties with this daughters. ;)
Angel Agirre, this one is for you!
(Next time I'll make sure he's wearing a hat, jewelry and nail polish!)
