Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Gather all materials and set up a clean workspace.
2. Sketch the main components of your castle on cardstock: walls, towers, gate, and flags. Use a ruler to make straight lines.
3. Cut out all the pieces carefully using scissors or a craft knife.
4. Decorate the walls and towers with markers or colored pencils. Add brick patterns, windows, and doors.
5. Score fold lines gently with a blunt edge or back of a craft knife to help folding.
6. Fold the pieces along the scored lines to create 3D shapes.
7. Use glue or double-sided tape to assemble the walls and towers into a stable structure.
8. Attach paper fasteners at hinges (such as gates or doors) to allow them to open and close.
9. Create small flags from colored paper and attach to towers using glue or tape.
10. Add any decorative stickers or embellishments for extra flair.
11. Allow the glue to dry completely before playing.
12. Set up the castle as a centerpiece for the birthday party or as a play area for kids.
