❣DIY Two Fairy House Lamps Using a Plastic Bottle❣

Hello, in this tutorial I show you how I made two fairy house lamps using a plastic bottle, tin foil, paint, hot glue and paper clay (I used "Das modelling material" - http://amzn.to/2r5FEHY ) This is a great way to teach children about recycling plastic bottles and also stimulate their creativity and imagination.
I first cut the plastic bottle in two pieces. Then I build the shape of the houses 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. I made some mushrooms on the side of the house and also above the door. I used some metal wire from a hanger to make the curly roofs. You should now have the basic shape of your fairy house. Cover everything with paper clay (I used "Das modelling material" but you can use any paper clay or even a homemade paper clay - I have a video about that -    • ❣How To Make STRONG Air Dry Paper Clay - N...   ). 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. Considering it will be a lamp you should also draw as many windows as you can so the light will come out nicely. I made a nice tree of life ornament on one of the doors. After the paper clay is dry you can easily add more details using tin foil and hot glue. Let everything dry. Now you can paint it in the desired colors. 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 in 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!
