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.

Step 2

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

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.

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.

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.
