RECYCLED CARDBOARD TREEHOUSE

I love those beautiful wooden tree houses but the big ones are quite expensive, so we thought we would make one ourselves using recycled cardboard!

MATERIALS:

Thick corrugated cardboard
Cardboard tubes
Craft knife
Hot glue gun
String
Wood pieces to decorate (optional)
Brown paper (optional)

HOW TO:

Cut cardboard shapes for the base and different levels. We cut 2 of each shape and stuck them together to make them extra thick. We covered the top of the cardboard with brown paper to make a nice clean surface but this isn't necessary.

Glue the toilet rolls in position to make the legs for your different tree house levels. I use a hot glue gun to attach the legs.
