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.
you certainly do the best armatures! No idea Das was called "paper clay" (although I remember it feeling like paper glued) Thank you so much for your vids! (like you really go "out of the book" of *traditional* sculpting tecniques and do what works.. which is really cool!
Boy, do I feel stupid. I wrote, earlier, that my clay was cracking and falling apart and asking for reasons why. Well, I read through the thread and discovered that I am using the wrong clay. Wasted $10 on the wrong material but I will be purchasing the materials to make your recipe for making paper clay. Thank you for showing us your beautiful creations and sharing the process. You have helped to provide a source for entertainment for a 70-year-old great-grandmother with severe physical limitations. I have been so depressed and now I am so excited about making some lovely, inexpensive, gifts to give to family and friends for birthdays and Christmas. Thank you, you are an angel.
I have never seen anything like what you create! If there was a 'Most Creative Person' contest on TH-cam you would win hands down! Thanks for all the inspirations!
Я в восторге!!! Это чудо!!! У вас золотые руки!!! Такой сказочный, теплый, уютный домик! Мне очень захотелось жить в нем! Творческих успехов и новых идей вам!!!
I have been following your work for over a year. I tried making one house using the commercial paper clay. It look beautiful, but the next day , the clay was all cracked. I was so upset! Yesterday I watched your video again, how to make the diy paper clay. Today I went shopping and got all supplies. Ready to give it a try. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise! I will post on your Facebook, when finished.
You are in luck, they can and they do: Have the right land, the right architect and anything is possible. Most of all one needs to have the talent to think it, translate it into reality, find the right materials and have the self confidence to succeed. You know, the way Creative Mom has and does...
You could build her creation using cob. Her creation is indeed beautiful and is worthy of being built life size so some lucky people could enjoy living in a wonderful magical fairy tale house.
Hollywood execs built them in the early days to house investors. Look up "Fairy Tale houses Los Angeles." There are still some surviving. There is one called "The Witch's House" in Beverly Hills for starters .
I am so in love with this that I cannot stand it! This weekend I am totally hitting the art store and getting started on one of these babies! I've made jewelry since I was 12 (I'm 43) and worked my way up to creating with hot glass. But I love working with clay, using my hands, sculpting, etc. I've made some cool pendants out of clay. I like small intricate work, my fine motor skills are much better than my gross motor (you do NOT want to see me dance!) I can't wait!!
OMG, OMG....THIS IS JAW DROPPING. I AM GOING TO DO ONE OF THESE BUT TRANSFORM INTO AN UNDERWATER MERMAID SEA HOME WITH SHELL SHELVES INSTEAD OF MUSHROOMS...IM SO EXCITED. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TALENTS. I CANT WAIT TO SEE THE REST OF YOUR VIDEOS. I AM NOW A VERY HAPPY SUBSCRIBER!!! JUST AMAZING !!!!!!
Suscritaaaaaa!! Ya no puedo más con esta señoraaa, que hermoso trabajo y claro, para que aprendas, muchas gracias, por enseñar y compartir tus geniales ideas.
you have JUST created a wonderful, whimsical and magical home!! I feel like words are not enough sooooo...I will let you know that I broke my jaw as it hit the floor while watching this vid!!! LOL!!! seriously this is creativity at its finest!! I'll say it again...COKE and Disney should sponsor you FOR REAL!!! xoxo stephie
Wow Creative Mom! Your kids must love you when they have a school project! (and all the other times too) This is really beautiful work. Thanks for the post
Your art is awesome! I'd love to do a crafternoon with you, I'd learn so much. Please keep uploading, I'm definitely going to try some of your ideas, you're very inspirational, thank you. X
WOW, when I saw the bottles my immediate thought was no, no I'm not watching it. I am so glad I did though. It did me good to chew and eat humble pie and wash it down with a glass of humility. Thank you , you have taught me on more than one level..
Hello, I wrote about the PROCESS and the MATERIALS in the VIDEO DESCRIPTION. Check it out! I might not be able to answer all your questions so before asking me something in the comments section make sure I didn't already answered that question. Thank you!
that is fantastic, very well done and so creative, I love it and with the basic idea you had, I have thought of another idea for a fairy house, and once again, beautiful idea.
I'm actually so in love with this project that I'm keeping this video as a favorite to do this wonderful lamp when I have a daughter... and this is deadly serious!
I’m in love with your tutorials! Can these be used in outdoor settings? My grandma wants to make fairy and gnome gardens, and I’ve got plenty of stuff around to do it. But can these stand the test of time from weather and just being outside for long periods of time?
genial eres de las mías un mundo que recicla es un mundo mejor y limpio besosssss millones de ideas continua que Inspiras 💋 desde mi paraíso gran canaria
Hi, I just wanted to say I tried to make this Fairy House just like yours. Well, I made one that looks like a child made it. I love it and took it too my classroom at an elementary school. The children loved it and put my miniature Minions all over it. Oh, my behalf I made it while recovering from carpal tunnel and cubital tunnel surgery. Thank you so much for sharing your talent.
What a great idea you are so clever. I wish my granddaughter was here to watch, she made her own fairy house last week whilst she was on holidays with me.
Creative Mom do you sell these if sooo how much or can i get in touch with you to buy for my garden that already looks like a fairy home..but needs one of these.
Это состав холодного фарфора ..основа бумажная жижа из туалетной бумаги ..клей пва немного муки и крахмала .можно добавить шпатлевку ....масса готова .Про это есть в инете кругом ..
Wonderful use of materials that would otherwise end up in a landfill or in the water. I love repurposing and you have caused my craft addiction to grow!!
probably some hours because you have to find a way how to apply the hot glue were it won't melt the bottle and for the clay thing to harden plus doing the designs and painting or if you're thinking of adding more to it
Holy crap!!!! Are you kidding me??? This is the most amazing thing I've seen in a long time!!!! When you were gluing the bottles together and they weren't straight i was saying, wait it's crooked!!! Boy I'm glad you couldn't hear me, lol. I so didn't know what i was talking about. Very very creative!!! I love the whole recycle reuse and make it new!!! I'm so happy I came across you and look forward to seeing more. Thanks Creative Mom!!!!!
А мне кажеться, что это обычная белая глина. Замазка быстро сохнет, что может влиятельно повлиять на вырезку и растяжку там где нужно, а глина послушная в этих делах, ей легко управлять самим.

Jodie Flo I thought the same!
Jodie, they're just jealous they don't have her talent. This lady makes it look so much easier than it is. She's a wonderful artist.
I never would've thought that this beautiful lamp was created from 3 soda bottles, paper clay, wire and aluminum foil! Genius! I absolutely LOVE it!
I have never seen anything like what you create! If there was a 'Most Creative Person' contest on TH-cam you would win hands down! Thanks for all the inspirations!

*I love making Fairy Houses and sharing the step by step tutorials*
if my dream house would look the same i will never leave it.. i wish if they could build houses just like that 😍😍😍
:) I wish too!

Carmel By The Sea in California; the entire town is full of houses similar to that! Google images of Carmel houses and hire a moving company ;o)

You are amazing!!!. Those who dislike your creation are ultimately empty headed!!
I love watching your videos! You're so talented!
Thank you!
What a great idea you are so clever. I wish my granddaughter was here to watch, she made her own fairy house last week whilst she was on holidays with me.
How long does it take you to make something like this? Great job! I love your creativity!
Es un trabajo fantástico! Lo tengo pendiente! Muchas gracias.😍😍
That is amazing!. You are a very talented Artist. I would love to attempt something similar but, I know it would not be as good as yours.
Thank you. I have some experience, but you can achieve that only if you start at some point ;)
Creative Mom do you sell these if sooo how much or can i get in touch with you to buy for my garden that already looks like a fairy home..but needs one of these.
Me encantó ..y la música También . . . .super! Me recordó los edificios de gaudi en barcelona!
сверху фольги вы глиной лепите? и какая это глина поделитесь? глину сами изготавливали или покупали?
Это состав холодного фарфора ..основа бумажная жижа из туалетной бумаги ..клей пва немного муки и крахмала .можно добавить шпатлевку ....масса готова .Про это есть в инете кругом ..
Wonderful use of materials that would otherwise end up in a landfill or in the water. I love repurposing and you have caused my craft addiction to grow!!
This is awesome! But people with trypophobia, look away now! 🤣
Too late! But thanks all the same. 🙂
i literally sat here with my mouth open the entire time!! My pumpkin would loooove this! So awsome!!!
How much clay did you use
Потрясающе!!! Браво!!! 👍👌👏👏👏 Похоже на дома гномиков) Сказочно!)
How long did it take you to make this magical fairy house?
probably some hours because you have to find a way how to apply the hot glue were it won't melt the bottle and for the clay thing to harden plus doing the designs and painting or if you're thinking of adding more to it
Holy crap!!!! Are you kidding me??? This is the most amazing thing I've seen in a long time!!!! When you were gluing the bottles together and they weren't straight i was saying, wait it's crooked!!! Boy I'm glad you couldn't hear me, lol. I so didn't know what i was talking about. Very very creative!!! I love the whole recycle reuse and make it new!!! I'm so happy I came across you and look forward to seeing more.

Vielen Dank. Ich bin rumänisch, ja
Awesome, perfect usage of plastic bottles.
что за материал для лепки использовали?
Мне кажется это обычная замазка для рам
А мне кажеться, что это обычная белая глина. Замазка быстро сохнет, что может влиятельно повлиять на вырезку и растяжку там где нужно, а глина послушная в этих делах, ей легко управлять самим.
А может соленое тесто？
Мне тоже кажется что это тесто
So beautiful. Reminds me of Antoni Gaudi’s fabulous architecture.
You start with crap and end with a piece of art. Magic mom!! Love ya!!
Hola,
Un proyecto increíble y fantástico.
Always love your music choices
восхитительно, удивительно. Супеееерр!!!!!
