PUTTING IT TOGETHER:
Place one of the tower sides and one of the floor on the foam board.  Carefully trace around ea piece.  Measure in 1-4” on all sides and use that line as you cutting line.  Using the craft knife cut the foam board out. On the towers board measure in 1-1\2” in on ea long side.  Draw a line and then score this line being careful to only cut through one side and foam core.  This will form the sidewalls of the tower later. With needle and yarn sew the two-tower facades tog sandwiching the foam board in the center.  Do the same with the floor crochet pieces and the cut to size foam board. Bend the tower’s sides inward.  Sew the floor inside these two walls and the front.
