Masquerade Ball

An original idea 

So after days of remaking and tweaking, I'm finally finished! Before I go on, I'd like to give credit to some of my inspiration for this igloo: my friend netskys ball igloo, my fancy Italian restaurant, my Mansion igloo, my friend alex's golden statue with the water fountain idea and this picture. Also, my friend remington helped a lot with dealing with the item limit to complete the dance floor.

"Out of this World" Igloo of the Future

Summers almost here! Whooo 

Hey guys! Today I bring to you; straight from a future galaxy far far away; the igloo of the future! It features a force field entry hall with holographic palm trees, a living room (anyone else confused by the "future" antenna TV's...?), an office space with a hologram computer, a kitchen, bathroom, and a bedroom!

  1. put slushy maker behind control terminal, coffee maker in front, being sure not to cover handle. 
  2. put stove and fridge on either side of control terminal, turn the fridge inwards. 
  3. put CFC tube on top of machine, connecting stove and fridge.
  4. put EPF table as flooring, and voila, the food will appear in the circle when you use your new Meal-Maker!  
  • Wardrobe Enrober 9000 
- You will need: 
* 1 mannequin

Make Your Own Treehouse!

(I made this a few months before the tree house igloo was in the catalog...) 

If you're too lazy to get coins for a new igloo or you just want to have your own unique tree house, this is how you can! All you need is: the fairy tree igloo, somthing wooden (logs or the tree-trunk chairs) for walls, and lots of the wooden benches for flooring. And from there, you can costumize it any way or style you want! It can be anything from home sweet home to a cool hang out for you and your buddies. Oh, here's an idea that just popped into my head: Robin Hood's hideout! Here's mine as an example (click for larger view).
As you can see, I decided to go with a jungle theme. 
And now its time for... Igloo tricks! 
  • Things you will need for Hammock: 
* 2 coconut trees
* 1 snow clump or something for a pillow 
* 3 moss walls
  1. connect the moss walls, the two on the outside angled back
  2. cover the edge of the outside of moss walls with coconut trees turned in
  3. put "pillow" over one of the wooden sticks on the moss walls 
  • Things you will need for Tree trunk fireplace: 
* 1 bon fire 
* 1 fairy trunk
* 1 small rock
  1. put bon fire inside the hole of the tree trunk
  2. cover hole behind fire with small rock

I know it's been a while...

So sorry I've been gone guys. My parents wanted me to take a break so I could focus on improving my grades. I hope to make up my abrupt leaving to you by posting some igloos I never got the chance to. In other words, I'm back! :D

Christmas Toy Shop 

Everyone's favorite feature in this igloo seemed to be the train tracks. I have to say that I agree! It was really fun to walk under the "bridge" to get to the cash registers! I kind of based my toy shop off of a previous igloo of mine, Toys R Us. I reused the rocking horses and trains with the easel background.  See ya soon and to my American friends, happy Memorial Day weekend!

Double Christmas Igloo Specail Part 1!:

Christmas Nativity Scene/Play

My first igloo for today is kind of religious--- it's a play about the first Christmas. There's a sweet manger scene with a treasure chest of gold, a crib with a halo and a spotlight from the tree. There's even the north star right over the manger. I set up three stages around the play with instruments for live music. To separate the play from the audience, I placed a white fence around it. In the house there are Christmas trees for decoration, giant speakers to hear the play, a red carpet leading up to the manger and many benches for the audience to sit and enjoy the entertainment!  
 
Igloo trix you can use for other igloos too!: 
  • I used the crystal ball from the Halloween catalogue as a halo for the baby.
  • The light shining through the right tall tree serves as a spotlight onto the crib.
  • Covered the mountains with clouds.
  • Used the graveyard dirt from the Halloween catalogue as a floor for the manger but hid the gravestones behind the walls.  
  • How to make the crib:  
* You will need:                               
2 rare benches                                 
8 wooden crates                                                                       
2 hay bales (the shorter kind)                      
1 Crystal ball                                   
                                                         
step 1: spin two rare benches backwards, one behind the other.
step 2: place two wooden crates between each side of the benches.
step 3: place four wooden crates along the bottom of the bottom bench.
step 4: place two hay bales inside the crib, each angled outwards.
step 5: put the crystal ball in between the two hay bales, covering the base.

Winter Cathedral

This is my first ever winter themed igloo for my blog! Yes, I know it's not technically a "cathedral" and more like a castle but the name just sounds cool XD. There's a dining hall with a harp on a icy stage for entertainment, an icicle throne room, random frozen ponds with penguin ice sculptures, flowers and fountains on top to add a little color and two tower rooms: one with a mini library and the other has a couple horse sculptures. I used lots of chandeliers and icicles to add an interesting effect to the walls and if you look closely you can see that I hid purple and blue paper lanterns behind some of the furniture. I also covered the windows that go with the igloo in the towers with the Halloween purple spider windows. Feel free to use any of my ideas displayed in this igloo, tell me what you think in the comments and click for a larger view!
 
I'll have to find  a new way to make videos over Christmas break since Google plus changed everything :/. Hope ya'll have an epic day and stay warm this winter!
