  Step 1

  First you need to make sure about the design of the miniature castle. Draw the design (front view and top view) of the castle , this will help to build the miniature castle easily.

• 

  Step 2

  After drawing the design you'll need to make a template (including each and every part of the castle). You may follow the template of my miniature castle instead. I also marked the towers, roof, square buildings and other parts with alphabets, it reduces confusion while making the template.

• 

  Step 3

  Cut out the parts out of the template. Color the roofs, borders and towers.

• 

  Step 4

  To make the towers simply roll the paper and glue the sides.

• 

  Step 5

  To make the conical roofs, take the round papers and cut off 135o out of it. Roll them like cones and glue the sides.

• 

  Step 6

  Attach them on the top of the towers with glue.

• 

  Step 7

  For the square buildings, fold the the paper 4 times (as shown in the picture) and glue the sides.

• 

  Step 8

  Glue a flat roof and zigzag carvings around the buildings with glue

• 

  Step 9

  Cut out a round piece of cardboard. Make sure the cardboard piece is big enough to hold all the parts of the castle and its surroundings (river, bushes). Cut out another round piece from a thermocol sheet with a flat surface and enough space to hold the castle. The thermocol sheets I had was thin so I had glue 2 pieces together to make it thick. This piece of thermocol would be a hilly area and we'll place the castle on the top of it.

• 

  Step 10

  Now start sticking them on the green thermocol hill. Apply glue at the bottom of every part and simply place them on their position.

• 

  Step 11

  Use blue polythene paper to make the moat. I glued 2 layers of blue polythene paper around the castle (see picture).

• 

  Step 12

  Break small pieces out of the thermocol sheet to make bushes & trees. Color them with poster colors and glue them around the castle. You may also add gardens, guards, flags, anything you want.
  This could be a fun weekend craft for the little crafters! Enjoy!
