Create
your own enchanted kingdom from everyday items, a few craft supplies, and a
dash of imagination. A suggested supply list can be found below.
Materials Needed (located at your
favorite craft store):
- Empty paper towel tubes
- Transparent tape or glue
- Pencil for tracing a circle
- Pretty wrapping paper
- Scissors
- Construction Paper
- Yarn, string, fishing line, streamers (any or all of these)
- Clip art or cut outs of animals and people you would like to have in your kingdom
- Clip art or cut outs of small flags, banners, Pom Poms, pipe cleaners, stars, stickers, or other decorations for your kingdom
- Cardboard or poster board to use as a foundation for your kingdom
How-to Steps:
- Measure and cut paper of your choice to cover the outside of your paper towel tubes.
- Secure the paper to the tube with glue and or tape. These tubes will be the towers in your kingdom.
- Use construction paper for your tower roofs by tracing a circle onto construction paper, then cutting a single line to the center of the circle. Fold into a cone shape. Glue paper cone to the top of your decorated tube.
- Repeat these steps until you have as many towers as you want in your kingdom. Glue the base of your towers to a large piece of cardboard or poster paper, then decorate with clip art, stickers, pom -poms and other items of your choice. This craft was inspired by the book 123 I Can Build! by Irene Luxbacher.
