❣DIY Fairy House Flower Lamp Using a Balloon❣

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.

Frequently Asked Questions:
1. What clay do you use?
I use a paper clay. I either buy it or make my own depending on what I want to create
2. What's the difference between the bought paper clay ( amzn.to/2r5FEHY )
and the homemade paper clay (A) th-cam.com/video/LkYGfBz_MTU/w-d-xo.html
(B) th-cam.com/video/_Ef-U6aZEoI/w-d-xo.html ?
The homemade one is not that soft and is only good for textured surfaces like stones and tree bark. It is very cheap to make so it might worth to sand it and work it a little more than buying a paper clay. However, you can't keep it more than 5 to 7 days in the fridge. It has the best consistency when you just made it and it's fresh, so I would recommend you use it in the same day or the next and don't make more than you need
3. Can I use air dry clay? What's the difference between air dry clay and paper clay?
Often times shops will sell both paper clay and ceramic clay with the same label "air dry clay". It's true, both are air hardening but there are quite a few differences: air dry clay(ceramic clay) is actually mud, natural clay, while paper clay is made with cellulose and other ingredients. Paper clay is stronger than air dry clay(ceramic clay). Air dry clay (ceramic clay) shrinks and the paper clay does not shrink. This is why paper clay is the better choice for my kind of projects. My projects usually require you to cover a jar or a plastic bottle. If the air dry clay shrinks and the bottle or jar remain the same size... you guessed it... your air dry clay will crack all around. It might be a lot cheaper but it's not what you need for these projects.
4. My clay cracks, how do you cover the cracks?
You don't, you change your air dry clay to a paper clay! See why at the previous question
5. How to waterproof my paper clay creations?
I recommend using a yacht varnish. Apply a few coats and make sure you cover it all around so no water touches your clay
6. What brand of paper clay do you use?
I use "Das modelling material" - amzn.to/2r5FEHY
7. Where can I see the list of materials?
As a general rule of my channel... READ MY VIDEO DESCRIPTIONS! I write it for you guys, is no secret what I use. For every video I write a description of what I do and what I use.
8. Do you sell your creations?
No, not yet, my daughter loves them too much.
9. What colors do you use?
I mostly use watercolors and acrylic paint.

I see you get alot of questions about everything, and I know you have tutorials where you can find some answers. But could you maybe make and Q&A video answering the most common questions you see? I am guessing there are alot of repeat questions 😉 Then you could link it in the end of every video after also.
