The decorations were awsome and so much fun to make. I used cardboard from refrigerator boxes (free from appliance store) to make a castle for the front of our house. I painted it like grey bricks with turrets and flags and dressed up our front door to resemble a drawbridge. A knight on a horse( drawn and painted on cardboard) greeted the princesses as they arrived. They walked up the sidewalk which I had covered with a red carpet remmenent and entered the castle through the "drawbridge".
