❣DIY Fairy House Lamp Using a Balloon❣

Описание: DIY Fairy House Lamp Using a Balloon
Hi, in this video tutorial I show you how I made a fairy house lamp using a balloon as a base, some cardboard, a few egg cartons for the paper clay and colors. This is a creative way to teach children about recycling and also stimulate their imagination.
I start by making the paper clay from the egg cartons. It is really easy to make because we only use two ingredients: egg cartons and P.V.A. glue (commonly referred to as wood glue, white glue, carpenter's glue, school glue, Elmer's glue in the US). I used an old blender to make it really smooth. I tear the egg cartons to pieces and place them in the blender. I add hot water over the cartons and start the blender. When it looks like a homogeneous mix I squeeze the water out trough a sieve. You should squeeze as much water as you can. I then add the glue. I used about three tablespoons of P.V.A. glue for half of the 10 eggs carton. You should add one spoon at a time and mix it to see if it has the consistency you want, and keep adding glue until the paste is the way you want it. The next step is covering the balloon in a thin layer of paper clay. After the paper clay is dry I glue some cardboard details like a big roof on top and some smaller roofs on the sides, over the windows. I also made a chimney from cardboard roll, and a base for the little house. I draw the windows and doors and added volume using small cardboard pieces (you can use tinfoil for this step but, as some of you mentioned in the comments, it is not so good for the environment, and yes, I do read your comments, by the way :D ). I also made a structure under the house and a little staircase using cardboard rolls. I covered all the new elements in with paper clay and let it dry. The painting goes like this: I start with the plane colors for every detail like brown stones, green windows, white walls, brown rooftop and later add shadows using diluted brownish colors. Then I add lights using light colors or even white to the surface of the texture. In the end I added some battery operated LED string lights inside. I know some of you would prefer to cover the windows on the inside with some kind of translucent paper so you don't see the lights but that's entirely up to you. This video is more about the fairy house than it is about the lights :D
