artwork: castle

When it comes to craft, we love the Usborne series Things to Make and Do. My daughter has collected lots of these books over the years.

A few years ago, back in Lizzy's pink-purple girly dayes, we made this castle from Fairytale things to make and do. It's made with cut-out shapes of tissue paper stuck on with a glue stick and decorated with plastic jewels and LOTS of good-quality glitter glue (a birthday gift) - we got a bit carried away, as you can see!!













We put it in an Ikea frame (a cheap, effective way to display kids' artwork) and it's been hanging in her room ever since.

That's beautiful! Also, it's not too pink and purple - much more sophisticated.
