Makes a wonderful gift or a nice decoration

I got the idea as a christmas gift, and after I made it I thought of some ideas to improve it. One being to have a light inside the house that I could use a switch at the back to turn on or off. It was a really fun project and is only limited by you with what can be done.

I got the idea as a christmas gift, and after I made it I thought of some ideas to improve it. One being to have a light inside the house that I could use a switch at the back to turn on or off. It was a really fun project and is only limited by you with what can be done.

Instructions

  1. Decide what size you want your house to be, I based my choice on the hinge I had, and to make it easier for myself I cut some cardboard to make a template for cutting some clay pieces.

  2. Decide where you want the door to be, and cut that space out. As best as you can, mold some clay around the hinge.

  3. I didn't have any support for it, so to make it easy I baked the clay in seperate pieces and used a hot glue gun to put it together. I also used the hot glue at the top of the house to give a better effect of snow.
