Home Made FUN: How to make a Kinder *Play Tree house....

For a long time I have been wanting a pretend & play treehouse for the kinders....
There are some really adorable ones out there.. but also pricey. They range from $75-$125.00 plus shipping.  So I decided to make one.

And here is my little Tutorial!

Here were my inspirations:

                             Here is what I did. I found an old wooden plant stand for just $2. 

Differant sizes and levels.... Look at all the options of what you can create!!

You can find these at Thrift shops, and yard sales and even on Ebay...

I then found some flat pieces of wood.. a few of mine were old butcher cutting boards.. I found at a flea market for $1 each. And another is a craft plaque... you can find these at your local craft shop or here. They are not expensive..

I bought some "ladders" at the Pet store in the Bird section for .79-1.00 each. I unscrewed the hooks and they were the perfect size.

Next ,I used Gorilla Glue to glue the wooden pieces right on top of the plant stand.
I used heavy books to hold it down while it dried, as gorilla glue expands! 



                                                                             Here it is!

I made a hammoc by just sewing together a few scraps of canvas fabric. Cut the sides with pinking shears for extra cuteness, And hung it with yarn.

After I let it dry for a few hours, I then hot glued small wood branch slices for the steps. These you can find in a craft shop or go outside and have the Daddy in your house cut you some. I bought mine in a store in france, for $1 euro. I washed them and let them air dry. Then I glued them on.

I hot glued some more pieces together to make little chairs and a table.

                       I then used green felt ( grass) and glued it down on the bottom level. 

                              I  hot glued some rocks, and some craft faux mushrooms. 
                            In the End I don't think I spent more then $10 for everthing!

KT loves it and plays with it all the time.

It fits her Callico Critter toys perfect!
