Question

How do I make a working draw bridge?

Community Answer

Step six goes into detail about it, but you need to make two holes on each side of the door and thread some string through. Then, attach the string to the flap on the door and you can pull the loop on the inside of the castle to make it go up. To go down, you just push the door down.

Question

Could the small castle work as a castle for my bunny?

Community Answer

Probably temporarily, but there's a chance your bunny might chew through the cardboard.

Question

How do I make the drawbridge?

Community Answer

Step 9 goes into detail on making a drawbridge. Basically you cut out two rectangles with rounded tops, one on black paper and one on brown. Glue the black piece onto the castle to look like an opening. Glue the brown piece on the ground going over the moat. Then glue two pieces of string from the top of the doorway to the top of the bridge.

Question

Is it possible for me to make a castle with a pulley bridge?

Community Answer

Yes. Just attach some string to both sides of the bridge. Put the string through two holes in a wall, and there you have it.

Question

How can I make the turret roofs?

Community Answer

All you have to do is take a piece of paper and curl it into a cone shape before taping or gluing it. (You can find videos of this online if you need a visual demonstration.) You could also cut out four triangles and tape or glue them together.

Approximately, how long does this take to make?

It takes quite long for this to be done but that is part of the fun. It's an adventure, an experience, not something to be rushed and gotten over and done with.

Question

What is a drawbridge

Community Answer

A drawbridge is bridge that is at the castle's entrance. It lowers when someone needs to get in and usually requires crossing of a moat, which is a body of water around the castle to help defend the building from intruders.
