❣DIY Fairy Tower Using Cardboard and Trash❣

I made this fairy tower recycling some cardboard from some pizza boxes I had laying around, a plastic bottle and a carton bucket. I only bought the colors and the hot glue. It took me about five days to finish.
I started by drawing and cutting the bucket at the bottom to fit the plastic bottle. I then glued the bottle in place. I glued some cardboard stripes together to make some thicker wooden beams for the roof. Then I made the cardboard roof tiles and glued them in place starting from the bottom of the roof. I added some basic elements like the chimney, the windows and the door. When the basic shape was finished I started adding some rocks at the bottom of the tower. I made those using egg cartons and tearing them in smaller irregular pieces. I added some rocks to the chimney and also made the textured wood using a ball pen and pressing the wooden pattern deep in the cardboard. This texture adds such a nice realistic effect and it helps a lot in the next step when adding color and patina. I started painting by covering the surface in a dark color first. This will serve as a base. Make it go in all the cracks and the deepest holes. It will act like a shadow and contrast layer when we add brighter colors. I add a very bright color, or even white, only to the surface of the texture, gently rubbing the brush with very little pigment so I don't get it in the cracks. On top of that bright color you can add other colors as well. You can make it brighter and more colorful, it's your choice. I made the door red and the roof blue but you can play around with any color combination you like. I hope you liked my video and got some inspiration to start your own projects. Have fun!

My mom was a fan of your work. She was inspired by your work and made about 7 fairy houses and was working on your hanging castle on rocks project before she passed away May 24. She was unable to put the final touches on it. We spoke about your videos and thanks to your videos we shared many special moments. So thank you for sharing your videos with us and for helping me make memories with my mom.

[@CreativeMom]

Thank you for sharing this. May she rest in peace and I hope you'll be ok... yours is one of the most touching comments I've ever read. Thank you!

SO. MANY. DETAILS! Wow!! The little supports, the dormer, the egg cartons for rock texture, using the pen to create wood grain and other texture... Just brilliant!

[@stillbee7222]

[@icemotion6932]

These are simply so cool.. seeing earlier projects already inspired me to do things like these myself along with my wife. We're starting on a set of 4 seasonal fairy doors as they are smaller projects before trying our hand at full sized buildings like this.

[@widdershins2687]

Glorious!!! ... I think the chimney, from inception to finished paint job, is my favourite bit. :)

[@margaritakim791]

Я восторге! Сколько фантазии и умения. Очумелые ручки!

[@XanBos]

I have watched several of your videos, and as an artist myself, I find your creativity and execution of your little homes to be just outstanding! I could see these sitting in my home! You inspire me to try this! I've done 3D sculptures with art board, but not with regular cardboard. Keep doing what you do! And thank you!

[@ЕленаБурмистрова-в5ч]

[@MichelleSinTO]

Watching your videos gave me the idea to make a Christmas gingerbread house for my mom, and every time I watch another video I think “gee, I really need to get that started”......and then don’t. LOL first step is intimidating but I bet if I just start I can have it done by Christmas! Beautiful work and so inspiring. Thank you for the videos.

[@houcineboutaballa8539]

[@herlindavelasco6326]

Todos tus trabajos son hermosos, me encantan. Bendiciones.

[@ruthannap6446]

I have to thank you! Your videos are inspirational. I have a little shop/studio, and our town has to Faerie Festival in August. I work in ceramics and made some faerie houses to create a village in our window. I also want to make some with paper clay, and now I may do some out of cardboard, too! My daughter and her boyfriend, both artists, came to my studio yesterday to start, and I told them to look up making faerie houses on KZbin while I waited on a customer. I didn’t tell them what to watch, and they found you! They were very inspired, I could see it! As artists, we have our own ideas for design, and our work looks different, but you are certainly an influence! So thank you very much!!!

[@donnatoland4756]

Your work is so beautiful! A whimsical gingerbread house would be awesome to see!!

[@geoffankrett7012]

Another brilliant creation

[@archanalokhande940]

Very creative....as always..👩‍🎨

[@awenbunny]

they are fabulous! you might want to look up "dry brushing" as a technique to make it easier on yourself painting them. you can get fabulous layers of colours with it after your original base coat is applied. we use it on some fired ceramics as a craft.

[@MoPoppins]

Incredible, as always. Your videos are such a satisfying watch. Every step of the project is so engaging. You always take these humble materials and transform them into masterpieces. I love watching the painting process. As someone who doesn’t have your ability and intuition, enjoying it vicariously is pretty much my only option, but it’s just so entertaining and enjoyable that I don’t mind. 🎨

[@mandytwilson4564]

So intricate, clever & above all stunning! 🤩

[@dosamatielno9380]

Always looks so easy, but isn‘t.....great job, i love it
