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

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.

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.
