First stages of the fairy castle

in #crafts5 years ago

I am building a fairy castle for my grandkids

I am building it from scratch, I have done some before but nothing like this they were kits or failed experiments. Then I saw a YouTube video on using plastic bottles to build them using it as a skeleton and I was like I have to try this. I am not done yet. I am currently waiting for the clay to dry so it can be painted and I have to go get more air dry clay as I am planning a whole fortress around the castle and a court yard. I am also adding lights to it. But currently it is in the beginning stages.

I will be starting the fortress walls tomorrow

I have the baseboard painted and tomorrow the walls skeleton will be attached then it will be clayed and then I will make it look like castle walls. I also have some lights for the inside of the castle and the guard towers at each corner of the fortress.

So far I am digging on how it is coming together

I look forward to finishing it and seeing the finished product. I decided I should document this attempt at doing this. If it turns out well I will be making all my future fairy houses this way.

It is so easy to do and isn't that expensive either. Google making fairy houses out of plastic bottles and a ton of videos will pop up.

So I had to start over I used a clay I shouldn't have used as it was more meant to a preschool project, but went to the craft store and got the good stuff. now I am on a roll hope to have an update in a day or two.

hmm doesnt understand you!
