Paper Art - Gazebo

Today I have been searching the internet for designs on castles as my son has been set homework to learn about them and demonstrate a castle in a model form using any material !

In other words "Mum" has been set homework as my 12 year old is not that creative .

I found the perfect design and whilst searching a site I came across some fantastic 3d model designs including this gorgeous Gazebo. I don't know what I am going to use it for but I just had to try and make it, plus I thought it would be great practise before I piece together all the castle cuttings.
(That will follow on another page as I am determined my son is going to help put it all together).

So I have downloaded all the template and have started to cut out each section - I can't find any instructions for putting together so I will just have to figure it out as I go along .



Please excuse the quality of my pictures 


The folding of this next piece is rather fiddly due to being so thin 






After cutting all the details are ready to take out the way 




Resulting in this gorgeous piece-



Now for the fun part of glueing together.

I started with the side panels and put them together and then added a top and bottom to secure and strengthen a little - 





I then made the base and glued the part above to the base - ( I started using my glue gun in the end as it was quicker and easier then sticky tape and a glue stick ).



Now to stick all the roof parts together to complete .




We after getting glue every where and a few sticky moment , my gazebo is complete.






If you want to try one yourself , I found the template at
