Hello, in this tutorial I show you how I made a log fairy house lamp using a plastic bottle, 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 start by drawing the sketch of the house. I visualize how will the 2,5 liters plastic bottle fit in the design and draw the shape of the fairy house around it. After I have the sketch of the fairy house ready, I start cutting the plastic bottle in four pieces. Then I glue them together in place. Next step is to build the rest 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. Using tin foil I built the hill under the house, the tree bark, the chimney, the roof cones and a branch. I also designed some stairs in front of the door and two mushrooms as pillars on each side of the door. After I have the general shape of your fairy house I can start covering everything with paper clay. 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. When making the windows keep in mind it will be a lamp so you should draw as many windows as you can so the light will come out nicely. After the paper clay is dry you can easily add more details 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! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tools & Materials: Das modelling material - Tin foil - Watercolors - Acrylic paint - Lights - Hot glue 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.
