I finished A Clash of Kings at least a month ago, but hadn't made a craft for it until now. This throne is an often find I found while searching the internet. The original post was made for a phone, but I wanted to make mine a bit bigger to serve dip in for Halloween. Check out the original post to see the idea, or follow along with my tutorial to make one for yourself.

| The Iron Throne |
Materials:
- Foam block
- 2-3 packs of cocktail swords
- Hot glue
- Cardboard
- Knife
- Scissors
- Dark silver spray paint
- Rocks or something to weigh down the front.
Directions:
- Start by cutting the foam block in half, and carve out a square from the inside of the foam.
- Cut out a back for the chair, and hot glue that on top of the back part of the carved out foam block. That completes the base of the throne.
- Cut out strips of card board and glue and fold to create the swords on the lower part of the throne.
- Glue/stick cocktail swords to the top of the throne and the front of the throne.
- Glue lots of swords to the back of the throne.
Back of Throne - Use any left over swords to decorate the sides and the front of the bottom part of the throne. I only had two packs of swords and ran out, so I drew a sword or two onto the sides using the hot glue gun.
Pre-Painted Throne - Spray paint the throne and let dry.
- If your throne will not balance because the back is to heavy, add rocks or some other item to counter weight. Just tuck them right into the foam.
It is a fairly easy craft that ends up looking impressive! I think this is how I am going to give out those plastic rings (along with candy) to the trick-or-treaters. More swords would have made it even more awesome.
