Making a fairy shop out of cardboard. You will need cardboard, a jar, paper clay, hot glue and acrylic paint. I start by gluing the cardboard walls and roof to the jar. The door and windows were cut before the actual gluing. Please stop asking for patterns. You will have a different jar and you can make a totally different house, you don't have to make this exact one. You can't go wrong if you try and draw some windows and a door. Worst case scenario you wasted some cardboard. After you glue the basic shape together you can start adding thickness to the door and windows by adding some stripes of cardboard to the edges. I added the cardboard shingles to the roof. I also made door and windows out of paper clay. Next step is adding paper clay to the walls. When the first layer has dried it's time for adding details and textures. I added wooden beams here and there, some rocks and something you haven't seen me doing before. roof drains. I think they add so much character to the little house. I used acrylics to paint the house. I applied light basic colors first for all the elements and added very diluted shades in the end to create contrast. That's it. It can be an awesome piece of decor, or you can add some LED's under the house and make it a fairy lamp for the children room

Your work is amazing. A while back, you made a fairy log home using two jars, aluminum foil, and cement-based tile adhesive (which was grey powder. I tried to mimic the technique, but I mistakenly bought ceramic tile adhesive and used it to coat the house I constructed with an ice cream container, cardboard, and aluminum foil. It covered the project well. However, it cracked when it dried. Also, it was pre-wet, so I could not sculpt details with it. Can you tell me exactly what type of cement you use and where you get it? Your supply links are invaluable, but the cement had no link.

Hi Creative Mom,
Thank you so much for making these and for sharing your knowledge with us, I suffer from PTSD and I find your videos extremely relaxing and often watch them on especially bad days, so thank you for that.
May I ask, the cardboard that you use on your builds, is it just normal everyday box cardboard and do you have to treat it with anything before applying the clay/paint.
Once again, thank you so much for making these videos.
Please take care and keep safe.
Kindest regards.
John.

I have ATTEMPTED lol a couple of your projects and the first time I did, I kept getting burned by the foil and hot glue. I learned that if I let my glue gun heat up then unplug it for a bit it will start to cool and I don't get burned as much. Of course I have to plug it back in after a but but its an old gadget so it's all good. Today I am going to make me a nearly tree trunk pen holder for my desk. Thank you.
