My the first step is about overlaying the jar with air dry clay. Additionally, making the opening for home windows, door and others for the sunshine to shine out while you put in LED tealight candle contained in the jar.

Do not be hurry or grasping 🙂 You may’t do all the pieces in a single step although. So, after you have accomplished this, cease and wait till the clay dry.

Step 2:

In my video, you will see that I make fairy door and mushroom after the clay on the jar dry.

However, whereas ready for the clay on the jar dry, you may really work on the massive chanterelle mushroom for the roof. 

So, I make this as step 2 🙂

Begin by making a cone form from thick paper/ cardboard, insert aluminum foil for the stem. Then, make about 4 items of flat oval form aluminium foil.

Additionally, make a dormer roof. You may see that I make type of rounded shingle roof impact for dormer roof. You may see my tutorial for the roof at my mini fairy home mission. 

Then, cowl the roof (the the other way up mushroom) with air dry clay and..wait once more till the clay dry 🙂

What’s your portray fashion? I wish to make my mushroom fairy home seems rugged and a little bit bit mystical..Ehm… is that the best phrase? Could also be enchanting is a greater phrase ha..ha..

I exploit acrylic paints to color my mushroom fairy home. I add water to my paints and apply to the clay floor frivolously with paint brush.

I will wait till the primary layer of paints dry then add stronger shade shade/ tone till I’m pleased with it. 

For the jar, I exploit diluted yellow acrylic paint with diluted uncooked umber for shading. I additionally use diluted uncooked umber for wooden impact on the door and home windows.

For the mushroom (small mushroom and large mushroom roof) I exploit a combination of lemon yellow, yellow ochre, orange and burnt sienna. 

Oh yah..you will see that I exploit blue shade for dormer roof window. i used to be imagining that this was reflection of the sky on the window 🙂
