An Upcycled Rapunzel Tower

I made this...

Upcycled Rapunzel Tower - Nichola Battilana

Ever since coming across this pin ages and ages ago I've wanted to create my own sort of fairy tale tower from a Pringles can. Pringles were on sale the other week. I ate all the chips. There was no excuse not to forge myself a Rapunzel tower.

The bricks are created using egg cartons. The little flowers and vines are from AlphaStamps.com. The mushrooms are handmade. The roof is paper. The base is wood with a black Thin Fleur Dresden Border.

One of my favourite bits is the little stained glass window.

I have several more Pringles cans laying about. I'm sure there'll soon be an entire kingdom of Rapunzel towers at Pixie Hill :)

  4. That is amazing, Nichola! I love it. I never would have thought you used egg cartons for the stone look. You've made me think if Pringles cans in a whole different way! : )

  5. YAY! I am so happy to see a Rapunzel tower in your unique style! This is so lovely Nichola! :) I am amazed at the egg carton stonework too. I've seen you use it before but it boggles my mind each time! :)
