Fancy creating a fantasy castle, complete with turrets and towers? You will need:

• Polystyrene Cup • Paper • Kitchen Roll Tubes • Sticky Tape • Loo Roll Tubes • PVA Glue • Tissue Paper or Kitchen Roll

Take a polystyrene cup and tape it upside down onto a piece of A4 paper.

Next, rip the whole of the bottom the of the polystyrene cup off using your fingers.

Stuff an empty kitchen roll tube through the hole that you made in the polystyrene cup. Tape it in place.

Then scrunch up some scrap paper into a paper ball and stuff it in the top of the tube to block it up. Again, tape it in place.

Next, take three loo roll tubes and tape them into position so that they’re roughly half way above the kitchen roll tube.

You should now have something that looks like this!

To make the pointy tops of the castle towers, just take a piece of A4 size paper and start to roll it in from one corner.

As you’re rolling it in turn to the right and it should roll itself into a paper cone. Then just tape it into position, so that it doesn’t unroll.

Next cut it down to make sure its about the same height as the loo roll tube and that it’s wide enough to fit over the loo roll tube. Then simply pop on top, and do the same for the other towers.

To make the details for the castle, take some strips of scrap paper and twist and bend them to help you make a door frame and windows. Don’t forget to tape them into place

Next, to turn your castle into stone you need to use PVA glue mixed with water (two parts glue, one part water), and just paste onto the front of your castle.

Before the glue dries, paste on strips of loo roll or tissue paper.

You can also cover the paper base to make it stronger.

You’ll need to cover the whole castle with tissue paper or loo roll in three layers, with a layer of the PVA glue and water mixture between each layer.

Leave the castle to dry overnight and then it should go hard, leaving a great stone-like effect. Cut out the base - unless you want to keep it all!

Next you need to paint it. You can use any colour you like because after all it is your 3D fantasy castle! The best way to paint it is to cover the whole thing in a base coat of paint, then when that’s dried, add on all the detail, with different coloured paints or coloured marker pens.

You can make your castle look however you like, and you don’t have to use only three towers. You can use five or six - but don’t use to

If you're bored with drawing flat pictures, it's time you made a 3D Picture Box! You will need:

• Shoe Box • Pen • Paint • Cardbaord Box Card • Scissors

First, find find yourself an old shoe box.

Draw around the box (not the lid) onto a large piece of paper and think of a theme for your 3D Picture Box.

You need to create your design within the rectangle you drew.

The design needs to be in three layers, the background, the middle and the foreground. In this one, the cacti, sign and skull are in the foreground, the mountain scene and road is in the middle, and the background has the sky with birds in the distance.

Copy the background of your design onto the back of the box.

Now copy the middle part of the design onto a piece of card. It has to be the same size as the inside of the box, all the way around.

Trim away excess card carefully with scissors.

Now draw the foreground part of your design onto the box lid. It's OK if you go into the frame a little, but try not to go too far into it!

Cut away the excess card, so that you can see inside your 3D Picture Box!

Next, paint the background design that you drew on the inside of the box.

Then paint the middle section, let it dry and secure it in place in the middle of the box.

Finally, paint lid of the box, and pop it in place. Finished!

There are lots of possibilities for 3D Picture Boxes using this technique. How about a day at the races?

Or what about an underwater scene, like this? Try it yourself!

Ever wanted your own priceless figurines? Here's your big chance! You will need:

• Sticky Tape • Newspaper • Aluminium Foil • Cardboard Box Card

Start by scrunching up newspaper into a body shape. Use plenty of stciky tape to hold it in shape

Twist some strips of newspaper into arms and legs. Again, use sticky tape to hold them in shape.

Bend the bottom of the legs to make feet.

Then scrunch up a thin ball of newspaper to make a head. Use more sticky tape to hold it in place.

Now that you have all the body parts made, tape them all together. Attach one at a time.

Just use plenty of tape and take your time - don't rush!

To make your figure stand up, you need to make a base. Just cut a piece of cardboard box card to the right shape, and tape a scrunched up pad of newspaper onto it.

Now position your figure on the base. It doesn't have to be in a standing position it can be in any position you like. This one's walking, for example.

To create the effect of a priceless figurine, cover your creation in aluminium foil. You'll need to use some double sided sticky tape or sticky tape loops for this.

Put your sticky tape loops onto the back of your figurine's back, head, chest and so on, then simply cover with pieces of aluminium foil.

Remember, you can do any shape, size or pose of figure that you like. Try it yourself!

Why not design a logo for yourself that's distinct and easily recognised?

You will need:

• paper • pens • felt tips

Take a quick look at these company logos. When you're a jetsetting multimillionaire, and you own your own company, you need a logo that's distinct and easily recognisable. If you design one for yourself, you can put it on your doors, books, walls - anywhere you like!

As it’s your logo, why not start where a lot of logo designers start... with your initials? Here are Neil’s - but they look a bit boring.

How about thickening the letters up? Or joining the letters together - a lot of logo designers do this. Neil's N and B are back to back. You can add a bit of shadow on the bottom as well.

You can get inspiration for your designs in a lot of ways. Here’s another good trick that a lot of graphic designers use - draw some shapes in pencil, and then use them as a guide to put your initials inside.

Here, Neil has drawn his chunky initials, but he's kept them within the cube shape. He has sent each letter down the cube to give it the 3D effect.

What about a triangle? Neil has kept it simple this time, with normal letters, but kept them inside the triangle. He's not drawn outside the lines!

What about circles? Here, you can see that Neil wasn’t too happy with the B, so he’s had another go. You can draw the letters any way you want, following the shape of the circle.

Instead of a large B, Neil has chosen to do a small one - and he’s put the tail outside the circle.

To make his logo really special, Neil is adding in some shadow to make it more chunky. For the B, Neil makes the top a bit longer, and gives the bottom a tail as well.

The idea is to do it all in rough first, and when you’re happy, neaten it up, and colour it in. And there you have it!

You can experiment with different colours and add bits on too. This is Neil’s final logo with stripes too. Have fun trying different things out! How about an explosion around your logo, or even a splat! Try it yourself!

Here's a way to scare people from snooping around your room!

You will need:

• Newspaper • Balloon • PVA Glue • Ping Pong Ball • Tissue Paper or Kitchen Roll • Sticky Tape • Cereal Box Card • Paint • Marker Pen

Blow up a balloon until it's roughly the size of your head. Stand it in a bowl or shoe box with the tie at the top.

Mix some PVA glue and water, and paste it onto the balloon. Then cover the balloon with strips of tissue paper or kitchen roll. Go right up to the tie, but don't cover it. After two layers of glue and tissue paper or kitchen roll, leave to dry.

Once it has dried, cut the tie off the balloon, and when the balloon has deflated pull it out.

To make the eyes for the monster, fold a sheet of newspaper along the long side, then roll it into a rough sausage shape. Give it a twist to hold it in place.

Next, wrap a ping pong ball up in one end, like this.

Hold it in the middle then fold the paper across, to trap it. Twist the ends and tape in place.

You can make as many of these as you like. Next, stick them onto the monster using plenty of sticky tape.

To make lips, roll some newspaper into a thin sausage shape and then make it into a ring shape. Use sitcky tape to hold it in place.

Use the same method to make some nostrils for the monster.

To make a tongue, cut out some cereal box card and cover it in newspaper...

...then tape it into position!

Legs are made by rolling more newspaper into sausage shapes. Again, use sticky tape to hold them in shape!

Tape the legs to the bottom of the balloon.

Use more PVA glue and layers of tissue paper to strengthen the legs.

When dry, you can paint!

And when the paint has dried, you can add detail. For example, add pupils to the ping pong balls to make them look more like eyes!

That completes your pet monster. Looks good, doesn't it?

You can make different coloured monsters...

...and you could even make your monster to a different design. How about this one?

You can even compine more than one kind balloon for a totally different shape! Try it yourself!

Make yourself a priceless relic - an ancient, mythical solid gold sun and silver moon! You will need:

• gold and silver paint • cardboard box card • PVA glue • newspaper • string • dinner plate • pencil • tape

To draw the sun: Take a big sheet of cardboard box card, and draw around a dinner plate, to form a big circle.

For the sun's rays, draw four big wavy prongs. Then add four medium sized prongs in between the big ones.

In between the medium sized prongs, draw some little wavy ones.

To draw the face of the sun, add two big bulgy eyes.

Draw a big, bobble-like nose, and add a friendly smile with big, full lips and a chin at the bottom. Don't forget to add big podgy cheeks!

Carefully cut all this out.

To draw the moon, take another sheet of card, and draw around it in the same way using your plate. However, push the plate slightly over to the right and draw down the left hand side of the plate to make a moon shape.

Now give the moon some features. Draw a nose and full fat lips, an eye, an eyebrow and a big fat cheek.

Carefully cut it out, and you’ll have something that looks like this.

To pad out the features of the sun and the moon: Scrunch up some bits of newspaper into balls, and tape them together into shape.

Twist some strips of newspaper.

Tape the balls and twisted strips onto the sun's features to create a 3D effect.

For the lines use the twisted strips. Cut them to size and shape.

Don't forget to tape some twisted strips along the pointed prongs of the sun.

If you do the whole thing in the same way, padding it out with newspaper, you’ll have something that looks like this.

If you do the moon in exactly the same way, you’ll have something that looks like this.

To strengthen your sun and moon even more, mix some PVA glue in equal parts with water.

Paste the glue all over the newspaper and cardboard bits of your sun and moon.

Lay on strips of kitchen roll or tissue paper, making sure you push it down into all the nooks and crannies. Cover the whole thing in one layer of tissue and glue, and leave to dry.

When it’s dry, you’ll have something that looks like this.

To paint your sun and moon: Using poster or acrylic paint, paint them both in black first.

To turn the sun into solid gold, cheat! Scrunch up a bit of tissue paper or kitchen roll and dip it into some gold paint. Dab off the excess, and then gently dab the paint on top of the raised black area. Stroke it on very gently, picking out the features and the detail with the gold paint. Use yellow paint if you don't have any gold, adding a touch of green and black to the yellow paint to make it slightly gold-like.

Paint the moon silver in a similar way. Dip some tissue paper or kitchen roll into the silver paint, dab off the excess, then dab it on.

Leave them both to dry. Tape string onto the back if you want to hang the sun and moon up.

And when you’ve finished, you’ll have something that looks like this. There you have it - a solid gold sun and silver moon. Try it yourself!
