How to make a castle out of empty boxes?

For an art prodject I need to make a castle out of all differnt kinds of empty boexes and container.. such as tooth paste boxes, shoe boxes, etc. Any ideas? I would like this castle to be fairly big and possible be able to walk through it.

Just lots and lots of boxes. For the top of the castle....where the points go up and a big tower on the top...use the toothpaste boxes there. They are narrow and tall. Paint it gray and don't forget a chain of some sort for the moat......paint it brown like wood. :))) Sit your castle ontop of a piece of paper that is colored blue to look like water. Put a couple dollar store plastic alligaters in the water by the moat LOL Boy, i'm having fun here..........put a princess or barbie doll high up in the tower looking out. Don't forget the inside of the castle....put a few boxes stacked up to look like steps going up inside the castle. Wow! This is awesome! Have fun.... I know I am! lol
Reply:I Would Buy a Bunch (For As Big As You Want It) Of Boxes The Same Size And Start Stacking Like Blocks As High As You Want It. You Could Cut Out The Inside Pieces So You Could Walk Through, But Should Be Taped First, Also Cover In White, Grey Or Black Paper (Can Get In Big Rolls At Craft Stores Before Assembly). Search For Odd Shaped Boxes From Stores, Furniture Stores, On Side Of The Road, Etc. To Use For Windows And Doors (Cover Them In A Different Color, Blue For Windows) And Just Stack With Others. You Can Stack/Play With A Few Different Looks A Few Times Before Taping. Then Cut Out Like The Tips (Crown Like) From Cardboard And Attach To The Very Top. Boxes Can Get Expensive, So Life Size Might Not Be Affordable Unless You Get Them Free. Good Luck!
Reply:i am an artist and made like thousends of art .


and guess what its your lucky day!


all you need is like five one meters boxes and some toothpicks and straws.


now you need ducktape or like strong tape.


and if you got all those you must barrow some sissors or something sharp. now you must cut the box like this.


_l-l_l-l_l-l_l-l_ yeah like that. and then you must make cannons or something with the toothpicks and then tape all the bonust stuff you like on it and then paint it with normal paint. none!


NOTE:do not use water paint because it will look freacky and i never use water paint.
