Rapunzel Tower

To Enter Cartridge Giveaway click HERE



My girls and I are dying to go see the new Disney movie Tangled, but since we aren't able to find the time right now-I thought it would be fun to make my 5 year old a play tower for her Polly's.  This Tangled Tower is really my blueprint for a real one I hope my hubby will help me make of wood.  Yes I know we could just go buy one but this is more fun and involves the whole family.  The tower is a paper towel roll covered in cardstock that I used my Batman Cartridge & Cricut Markers to draw a brick pattern on.  I used leaf ribbon to create the climbing ivy and I cut a piece of transparency with the Christmas Noel Cart to make a window.  The Chair & paper roses are from Happily Ever After.  My Rapunzel is going to be an altered Princess Aurora.




The floor part was cut from Plantin:  I just used a 5" Circle and used the Center Point Function Button to make a hole in the middle to insert the paper towel roll.  I used a leftover ribbon bolt to attach to the bottom of paper towel roll.  I then cut another circle in green with a smaller circle inside of it using Center Point Function again.

Well, it is nice to see someone create something wonderful instead of going out to buy it! This is so much better, made with love! Your daughter will appreciate it so much more that a cheap plastic toy. Thanks for sharing!

Good hint for hubby... and I too think is better that you make as a family than to just go buy!
