Spooktacular Decor: Spooky Town CastleStep by Step:

1. Spooky town castle a great centre piece for a Halloween table

fill with goodies for your guests, or a great piece of seasonal hom

dcor filled with something like pot pourri ! So to start well mak

the central piece. Using the guillotine on your # 1040 combo

trimmer cut 2 x 5 strips of a 12x12 Imaginisce spooky town papJoin the pieces together overlapping by with your glue glide

pro and permanent adhesive so you have one long strip.

2. Along the top edge mark a depth of then in from the l

mark a vertical line (to make a turret) continue along the leng

marking vertical lines but make all the rest at 1 intervals. Cut ou

your turret and then each alternate turret to the end. Make th

piece into a circle, overlapping the join and adhering with th

glue glider pro.

3. For the right hand tower cut a strip of the Imaginisce paper 7

x 8 wide on your combo trimmer. Lay it right side facing you an

from the right mark a line on the top edge 2 in and 1 dow

Then from the left on the bottom edge mark two lines 1 and 2

in and 4 up. With a craft knife cut the lines making very thin sRoll up and stick along the join to make a cylinder.

4. For the left tower cut another trip of the Imaginisce paper th

time 6 tall and 10 wide. Laying it face up again from the right

along the bottom edge mark two lines at 1 and 2 and 4 u

and again cut along these lines making thin slits. Again roll it up

adhere the join to make another cylinder.

5. For the back tower cut another piece of the Imaginisce paper 8 tall and 6 wide. Again laying it face up from the right alon

the bottom mark two lines at 1 and 2 and 4 up and then along the top edge mark a line at half way ( 3 ) 1 down. As

before cut the slits and make it into a cylinder.

6. Cut 3 circles (well its a semi circle plus 1/8th of a circle as in the

diagram) 1 = 5 diameter 1 = 5 diameter and 1 = 6 diameter.

Make these into the roofs by overlapping the edges over each otherand sticking in place.

7. Using the template make some sticky out towers, they should

measure 3 in height with a thin slit 1 deep as marked. To make

them double sided cut out two little roofs and attach one front and

back.

Spooktacular Decor: Spooky Town Castle8. Ink all the edges of your pieces with the darkest color in the cats

eyes chocolate and blueberries stacker; dont forget the edges of

the slits and the edges of the roofs.

9. Decorate the pieces with free hand drawn windows and doors

cut from the Imaginisce papers and add strips cut from the papers

using click blade #2804 deckle cut in your trimmer.

10. Stamp a clear scraps XL dazed stamp shaped acrylic with a

texture stamp and permanent black ink.

11. Glue the central circle to the acrylic using silicon glue.

12. Slot the towers over the castle walls using the base slits. Slot in

your sticky out towers into the two tallest towers that have slits at

the top and glue on the roofs.

13. Further decorate the piece with images cut from the imaginiscepapers and rub ons. I added the ghost onto a strip of discarded

laminate left over from my wreath leaves and stuck it inside the

castle wall so it bobs about! The flag is cut from the papers,

attached to a cocktail stick and pushed into the top of the roof. The

tree and tombstone were cut with an extra flap that I folded back

and stuck to the base, so they stand up and the bats were stuck on

with foam pads for extra dimension.

14. Now find the perfect place to display your castle and fill it up

with goodies.
