Hello, in this video collage I show you how I made ten fairy house lamps using plastic bottles, tin foil, paint, hot glue and paper clay (I used “Das modelling material“ - ). This is a great way to teach children about recycling plastic bottles and also stimulate their creativity and imagination.
In most of the videos I follow these steps: I first cut the plastic bottle and glue them together so I get a base. Then I build the shape of the houses using tin foil and hot glue. If your hot glue is too hot you can unplug the glue gun and wait for it to cool down a bit. This is a fast way to achieve a basic volume that will be the base for our paper clay. You can make mushrooms on the side of the house or leafs, stones or bark texture. I sometimes use some metal wire from a hanger to make curly roofs. When you have the basic shape of your fairy house you can start covering everything with paper clay. You can work in one layer or, if you are a beginner you should work in two layer
