• Alligator Clip
• Hot Glue Gun

• 3/8" grosgrain for turrets and to line the clip
• 7/8" grosgrain for castle base and towers
• 1/4" grosgrain for windows
• 7/8" grosgrain for door

Step-by-Step Instructions

	First, take a 1" piece of 3/8" ribbon color of your choice, fold it on itself, and glue it in a 'cone' shape. Do this step twice.
	Then, take a 1" piece of 7/8" ribbon color of your choice, glue it to the front of the 'cone', at the top.
	Then, take the sides, wrap them around the back, and glue down. Remember to use just a small amount of glue for this -- a bead of it down the edge. You *may* need to trim off a small amount to keep it from looking 'bulky' in back. Remember also, to do this step twice!
	Next, take a 2" strip of 7/8" ribbon, and glue in the sides (just a little bit!) Then, glue a small bit on the bottom up on itself. Turn it over, and glue one of the 'towers' on the edge of the castle
	After you have the towers glued on, make the windows. I used 1/4" ribbon, and cut VERY SMALL squares. SEAL THEM!! I used Fray Check. Then, make a drawbridge by cutting "U" shape into a piece of 7/8" white ribbon.
	You now have a completed castle! At this point, glue it on a lined clippie. You can makes these in ALL SORTS of color combinations!
	Here is the castle glued to a clip that has been covered in the same accent ribbon used for the turrets.
