One of the most important aspects of designing and building your own home is planning.
Add Details
To add details, cut the wall of the castle using scissors or an exacto knife. You can also cut the drawbridge by folding it in half. The drawbridge should be hinged on the bottom, so make sure it is the same height as the walls. Make sure to use the same pattern on both sides and use the same color paper. If you’re looking for a great way to get your kids engaged in construction projects, consider this Build Your Own Slot Cardboard House kit. It’s easy to assemble and disassemble, and you won’t have to use any tape or glue. You can even use crayons to decorate!
build
To build a castle, use a piece of black craft paper and cut a rectangle shape with a rounded top. Next, trace the shape onto brown paper or cardboard.
cut
Then, cut along the lines of the shapes. Once the cardboard is cut, you can add windows and a drawbridge.
able
If you’re able to find cardboard boxes that are sturdy enough, you can make a cardboard castle with poster paper.
Remember
Remember to follow safety regulations! If you’re doing it with a child, make sure to supervise their actions.
cardboard
Once your cardboard castle is complete, decorate it with colorful paint and stickers. You should avoid the use of sharp objects around small children.
glue gun
Using a glue gun to stick the pieces together is not recommended if you’re not a professional craftsman.
turrets
- You can also cut out turrets out of poster paper and glue them on the sides of the castle. You can also add a window in the turret for the royal to look through. After you've cut out the pieces, you can set them up to see if they look right. When the walls are finished, you can attach the turrets. You may need to cut slits to make them fit. Remember to attach them securely to the walls of the box so they don't tip over.
paint
- You can paint a cardboard box house in any colors you want and outfit it with basic conveniences. If you have the time and money, you can even wallpaper it and add curtains to it. You can even reuse leftover paint for the interior walls. You can also use scrap fabric to create curtains. Just make sure you keep the cardboard box indoors, as it can get wet if it is outside.
