I made Jamie a castle out of an old large moving box. It's nowhere near as fancy as the inspiration - I didn't decoupage the inside bc, uh, I didn't know what that was until I saw the post and there's no mirror hanging inside, but it works. 

Here's the inspiration

and here's my normal person version

I can't see your version, but I already like it better than the original. It bothers me that she tore apart a book to use as wallpaper on a box.

Yeah, the book thing bugged me too. Use a magazine or something!

Great job! Definitely a win.

Yours looks great! I would like to make a fort for W. Did it take long? Did you paint the paper or use colored paper?

Thanks!
It took 10 minutes to cut out once I figured out to use a bread knife to cut the cardboard. I used colored construction paper for the bricks

Oh man, I just put a huge box in the recycling last night. C had been using it as a boat all week. Guess I'll just need to place another ridiculously large Amazon order.
