Description: DIY Fairy House Flower Lamp Using a Balloon Hi, in this video tutorial I show you how I made a fairy house flower lamp using a balloon as a base, some cardboard for the paper clay and colors. This is a creative way to teach children about recycling and also stimulate their imagination. I started by making the paper clay from the cardboard. It is really easy to make because we only use two ingredients: cardboard 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 cardboard to pieces and place them in the blender. I add hot water over the cardboard pieces 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 in the video but 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. I draw on the balloon where the door and windows will be. 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 petals and leaves (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 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 blue petals, green leaves, white windows and later add shadows using diluted brownish colors and lights using light colors or even white to the surface of the texture. I blend them together by tapping the surface where two colors meet. In the end I added a tealight candle inside. It looks awesome as a night light. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Popular Videos: DIY Enchanted Fairy House Lamp Using Coke Plastic Bottles - youtube.com/watch?v=rToLsZ2M1-Y DIY Fairy House Lamp Using Coke Plastic Bottles - youtube.com/watch?v=-XfylbVpZXA DIY Boot Fairy House Lamp Using Coke Plastic Bottle youtube.com/watch?v=kojz9tNglAc DIY Fairy House Lamp Recycling TRASH youtube.com/watch?v=Y6xi56W7cAE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So like, comment and subscribe to my channel for more videos youtube.com/c/CreativeMom?sub_confirmation=1 Connect with me on Facebook and Twitter facebook.com/CreativeMother twitter.com/DiaCreativeMom Let me know what you think in the comments section below!
