so i plugged in the glue gun and got at it. i first started by gathering all my princess movies for reference...and started cutting...
first...every princess story seems to have a castle in it...
there is a stream that turns into a lake(ocean, river whatever) you have to have water cause
A. ariel
B. that's where tangled watches the lanterns
C. prince philip gets dumped in water by his horse.
so the bridge was a MUST
across the bridge is the village
including a bookstore for belle
another havetohave is a cottage...or where would snow white sleep? or sleeping beauty. (the basket is for sleeping beauty to gather flowers)
we are quite obsessed with tangled...so there are many nods to her...
even a frying pan and a cave to sneak through to her tower
i made a another little cottage...eldest born didn't get it..but it's supposed to be the ugly duckling..
and of course..with every good..there is evil..
so there needed to be a place..
a dark evil cottage for them to whip up their spells in...you can leave glue gun hairs on it...better effect.
and ....forest animals....cause heaven forbids the princess tie their own aprons...
i included some princesses with the mat to get the playing going..
(i hot glued a pocket in the back for the princesses.....)
to see my other felt mats..
go HERE
If I EVER let my daughter see this... I'm gonna be in BIG trouble! She'll want one right away! I'm now just thinking it could be doable by May (her birthday month). Thanks for the idea!
