Make Believe Fake Believe February 10, 2009

Ah, the good old days when a box was a fortress and some blankets and chairs made an awesome fairy castle.  All is not lost.    My son got some fun dress-up items for Christmas and after playing with them off and on I can see some missing items.  I love this sword tutorial – great pics, and easy to do!  It’s even in Danish – brush up on your foreign languages while you create!  I’m sure I’ll embellish when I make one for my king/pirate/viking and I’ll add pics of the finished product.

Here’s the creator with his viking sword.
