- In this video I show you how I made a house in a rock using cardboard, egg cartons, hot glue and paint. This project is super easy to make, requires no special skill and looks amazing in the end.
The house in the rock has two main elements: the house and the rock.
The house is basically made of three cardboard walls and some columns. nothing too crazy. I cut the walls from a single cardboard piece and made some indentations where the corners should be. I cut out four windows and a door. I glued a cardboard stripe on the inside of the door and windows to give the impression that the walls are really thick. The columns are also made from one piece of cardboard with indentations where the corners should be. I glued everything to a cardboard floor and ceiling. I added some LED string lights around the windows and door on the inside. I also made sure to have two LED's on the porch. I rested everything on a cardboard cylinder that will also host the batteries for the lights.
The rock is also extremely easy to make. Long stripes of cardboard glued together from the edges of the house in the shape of some arches that surround the walls of the house. The basic shape can be as irregular as any natural rock so you can't mess this up. The next step is covering these stripes with egg carton pieces. The egg cartons have a rough texture that will give our rock that awesome natural look. I sanded my rock a little bit after this step to make it look like one solid block.
Next comes the painting. I started with a beige as a base color. When this layer was dry I brushed the surface with some white so have better highlights. Next I watered down some yellow and applied on the whole surface. I did the same with some light brown but only applied it here and there. Did the same with a little black and green in the end. I let it dry before each color. Using the heavily diluted acrylics, starting with the lighter colors and finishing with the darker ones makes it easy for the darker colors to go in the texture in the end and give a pretty natural look.
That's it. This project can be finished in one day. It took me a couple of days because I was also shooting a video tutorial. I hope you'll have fun with it

I love your fairy houses and I've been making them for years. This is really cool but it makes me wonder why can't we make structures out of cardboard when we're home if we are homeless. I wanted to get them to do it. Cover it with plastic but there's some stiff cardboard out there. That would be a good shelter.
Нифига себе 😳😍😍
