Recycled Fun!

    I have been collecting paper towel and toilet paper tubes for the past two weeks, rambling over what I could possibly create. Suddenly Pintrest inspiration kicks in!! Why not create a super fun recycled/ bidazzled fairy tale castle for little Serenity? Well yes indeed we did! Yesterday Little Renity and I spent all after noon creating what she thought was the most amazing thing she had ever made. 

First we made a trip to the commissary and asked the nice employees for the biggest piece of cardboard they had. Once our big cardboard mission was accomplished we used it as our base for the castle. Little Renity and I painted away like true artist! I have to say it was so much fun!

Once our base and our hands were completely covered with paint we let the base dry for about an hour.

While the base dried we moved on to the castle towers and walls.  We decided we were going to have a hot pink girly castle! This part was a bit of a challenge. Lets just say Renity was in need of a bath after this! 

  

After everything was dry we hot glued the cardboard towers and walls to the base of the castle. Then for some character we glued flags made out of toothpicks and scraps of cloth to the top of our towers. Transforming it into our fairy tale masterpiece! Pretty cool huh? Not only was this an awesome craft for kids it was also a chance for little Renity to create something she will enjoy for hours without braking the bank!
