Hello, in this tutorial I show you how I made an enchanted fairy house lamp using nothing but coca cola plastic bottles, tin foil, paint, hot glue and paper clay. This is a great way to teach children about recycling and also stimulate their creativity and imagination. I first glued the bottles together in the position I wanted. Then I cut the bottoms of the bottles. Next step is to build the shape of the house using tin foil and hot glue. This is a fast way to achieve a basic volume that will be the base for our paper clay. We are also marking with tin foil the places where the windows will be on the plastic bottles. Considering it will be a lamp you should draw as many windows as you can so the light will come out nicely. I made some mushrooms under some of my windows. I used some metal wire from a hanger for the curly roofs and for the leaf from above the door. You should now have the general shape of your fairy house. Cover everything with paper clay. You can work in one layer or, if you are a beginner you should work in two layers, one for covering the surface and the second one for the details like windows, door, wood texture, bark, mushrooms, door steps, curly roofs. After the paper clay is dry you can easily add more details using tin foil and hot glue, like I did for some of the windows. Let everything dry. I used watercolors and acrylic paint for painting because I like working in layers and be able to change if I don't like the way it looks. In the end you can seal the paint using some matte spray varnish. I placed some battery LED lights under the house. I recommend you use soft lights that will gently illuminate your windows so it looks like a real house. DON'T USE HOT LIGHTS! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music: “Accralate - The Dark Contenent“ by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license () Source: Artist: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tools & Materials: Das modelling material - Tin foil - Watercolors - Acrylic paint - Lights - Hot gun - Fruit carving knife - DISCLAIMER: These are affiliate links, which means that if you click on one of the product links and buy something, I’ll receive a small commission with no additional cost to you.
