  Step 1

  I started by drawing out the castle on the box, I made a template and traced this on. I drew the castle on the back of the box making sure to extend the drawing to the flap. Once I was happy I cut it out with an Exacto knife.

  Step 2

  I made the balcony by cutting out a piece of foam core board.

  Step 3

  Once my castle and balcony were cut I began to spray paint. I used a white primer/paint to cover the whole thing. Once the white was dry I lightly spritzed on some robin's egg blue to create the highlights and detail.

• Step 4

  I cut out the window, door, railing and chair with the Cricut. I first designed the shapes then layered and assembled.

• Step 5

  I used reference to create the details of the balcony, I even added Elsa's snowflake to the floor beneath the balcony.

• Step 6

  The stairs were a bit tricky, I made a template, traced and cut. I made marks at 1/2 an inch to create the steps and folded it like an accordion. I cut out the railing with the Cricut and hot glued it on.

• Step 7

  The ice structures on the walls I created in the Cricut design space by combining rectangle shapes and triangle shapes. You could also just cut these out of paper with scissors. Then I glued them to the castle walls.

• Step 8

  I placed 3D foam stickers on the back of the window and door to create more dimension. I glued on the stairs and then the door at the top.

• Step 9

  I spritzed on a little more spray paint to unify the entire castle. Then applied spray glue and sprinkled iridescent glitter all over the entire thing.
