Hello everyone.
Greetings to all.
I always love crafting things out of waste materials. It makes my imagination go wild with all the possible things I can make. Like these ones right here. The only frustrating thing about crafting is, they are very time-consuming.
So, it takes all of my patients to create a piece even though most of the time people, that know me, tell me that I have a lot of patience, maybe that is an advantage at such times. Well, I guess that's now put to test when I am making things out of scratch. It's really frustrating when all of the parts for a piece are done but I have to sit for a whole 5 minutes for the hot glue machine to heat up and also, the part where I have to wait for a few minutes for the glue to stick. If not the parts will be farther away or the part will be stuck slightly slanted.
So, as I said before, it takes a lot of patients, but the end result is what's worth it. Alongside, using it is another way to recycle popsicle sticks and pringle cans. Now, let's grab your spirit and get started cause I am going to tell how I made the castle by using a marker, some papers, paint, hot glue, paper glue, some popsicle sticks, pringle cans, and of course a scissor.
First, mark the pringles box with a marker to the desired height you want the castle or tower to be. Then cut out the excess part but don't throw them away. We will be using them like the roof of the castle.
Now, cut the excess part in the middle so you can straighten it up flat like a sheet. After that make it into a cone shape and use hot glue to stick the end part of the cone so it can stay in that shape. Other glues don't work when you are working with cardboard. Then you take another pringle can and cut it to the desired depth you want to add to make the balcony. Then cut it into half and use the cut-off art for the floor of the balcony.
Now, cut the cut off into a crescent shape and stick both the part using hot glue. When all the parts are done, a balcony, the tower, and the roof. Cover all the parts with any color paper you desire your castle to be, using paper glue, not hot glue.
After all, is done, attach all the parts together, the roof to the tower and the balcony to the tower, using hot glue. Then take a popsicle stick and cut it out into a door shape and stick it to the tower. When that's done too, use paint to add details and that's it your castle or tower is complete in shape.
Above is a hut that I have made like the way I made the castle. This was much easier I would say. Anyways, it all is time-consuming. Unless you are really interested to do so, you won't be able to stick up with it. As I like doing crafting a lot, this was an opportunity for me to make something unique looking. If you are this type, then go for it straight.
Thank you for being patient while reading.
