Royal Figures - Step 1
First, measure and carefully cut 3 of the tubes down to 10cm in height – you will need an adult to help you do this.
idea_royal-craft-rolls_step1.jpg?sw=680&q=85
Step 2

Next, paint the top sections of the tubes with beige paint, and leave to dry. Apply a second coat if needed.

idea_royal-craft-rolls_step2.jpg?sw=680&q=85
Step 3
Now cut out and stick strips of felt to the tubes - red and black for the King’s military uniform, burgundy for the Archbishop’s dress, and white and black for the Guard’s uniform.
idea_royal-craft-rolls_step3.jpg?sw=680&q=85
Step 4

Add a black belt and blue ribbon sash to the King’s uniform.

 

Then, glue some hair to the top of each using grey yarn, add some wiggle eyes and draw smiles with a black pen.

Step 5
Now, using your template as a guide, draw and cut out a paper crown. Once cut out, assemble and stick in place with glue.
idea_royal-craft-rolls_step5.jpg?sw=680&q=85
Step 6
Cut out a circle of purple felt and glue it inside the crown, then adorn with gem stones.

Step 7

Add a white felt cloak trimmed with pieces of gold cord and a gem stone to the Archbishop.

 

Use the template to create his headdress and stick it in place with glue.

Step 8

Now, cut and wrap a red felt jacket around the Guard and glue it in place.

 

Then, trim it with pieces of gold cord.

Step 9
Next, add a white ribbon sash to the Guard, and use the template to draw and cut out a gold paper helmet. Glue it in place, along with a gold cord strap.
idea_royal-craft-rolls_step9.jpg?sw=680&q=85
Step 10
Glue some 9cm lengths of beige yarn to the top of the Guard’s helmet and leave to dry.

Step 11

Now it's time to make the horse –  flatten a tube and use the template to draw and cut out the body.

 

Then, draw and cut out the head on the leftover piece of cardboard.

idea_royal-craft-rolls_step11.jpg?sw=680&q=85
Step 12
Fold down the top of the neck , stick the head in place, and leave to dry.
idea_royal-craft-rolls_step12.jpg?sw=680&q=85
Step 13
Paint the horse brown, and allow to dry. Apply a second coat if needed.
idea_royal-craft-rolls_step13.jpg?sw=680&q=85
Step 14
Finally cut some 7cm lengths of beige wool to be used for the horse’s mane and tail. Carefully glue them in place.

Westminster Abbey - Step 1
To create the Abbey, first use a ruler and pencil to draw 2 towers on either side of the front and back of an empty cereal box.
idea_royal-craft-rolls-westminster_step1.jpg?sw=680&q=85
Step 2
Carefully cut out the shape with scissors - you may need to ask an adult for help with this.
idea_royal-craft-rolls-westminster_step2.jpg?sw=680&q=85
Step 3
Next, paint the box beige, and leave to dry before applying a second coat.
idea_royal-craft-rolls-westminster_step3.jpg?sw=680&q=85
Step 4
Now, draw vertical and horizontal lines on the painted box using a ruler and pencil.
idea_royal-craft-rolls-westminster_step4.jpg?sw=680&q=85
Step 5
Then use the templates to draw the arched windows and door.
idea_royal-craft-rolls-westminster_step5.jpg?sw=680&q=85
Step 6
Finally, go over the pencil lines with a white paint pen, and leave to dry.
