Room Transformation Part 1, pompom and cupcake flowers for den making by Akiko and Erika

Den Making Instructions.

Akiko and Erika say-Making a den is so much fun - the great thing is that you can build one just by using a lot of stuff that you can find around your home.  It can be as simple or as detailed as you like, the main thing is to make it your own! If you have teeny babies or toddlers, you can try a smaller soft play den with cushions used as a low surround. You can build as a team with all the family. The den can be inside or out in the garden.  It’s up to you!

The first thing to do is to look around for your building materials and decide where you are going to build your den.
