DIY Smurfs Mushroom House Jar
In this video tutorial I show you how we made a medium size smurfs mushroom house using a pickles jar, tin foil, hot glue, paper clay and paint. It’s fun to make and you can use it as candy jar for a candy bar, birthday party, thank you gift for a baby shower, baby room decoration, piggy bank, jewelry box, cookie jar and so on. You can even transform it into a lamp adding some battery lights inside
So you need an empty jar with lid, aluminum foil, newspapers, paper clay (the one that mantains its size when dry - I used “DAS modelling material” a great air dry clay, but the secret is to water it a little and work it in your hand before you use it, to make it smoother), hot glue and water colors or acrylics. (A lot of you asked me after my "DIY Mushroom Fairy House Jars" video if you can use polymer clay on this kind of projects. Of course you can use polymer clay but for a bigger jar like the one I used in this video you will have to use a lot of polymer clay and the whole project will become expensive. You will be able to save some material using thin foil but still. I would recommend to use paper clay. It's a lot cheaper and easy to work with) Choose a jar and clean it with hot water and soap. Think about the shape of your smurfs mushroom house. Start shaping some paper into your mushroom’s cap. Cover it with tinfoil and integrate the lid at the bottom. You can add multiple layers of foil untill you get the desired result. Also you can create volume by making rolls of paper and cover them with tinfoil. You can use those for shaping the bottom of the cap and also to make the chimney top. Glue the tinfoil cap to the jar’s lid using hot glue. Cover the tinfoil shape with a layer of clay. Draw the door and the windows on the jar and start adding clay around them building the walls. You don’t need to pay too much attention to details at this point. Let everything dry. Apply another layer of clay to create textures and details like door handles, roof chimney, stones or any detail that might give your smurfs mushroom house a unique look. If the clay doesn’t stick to the previous layer I recomand you to water the areas you want to work on. Also keep a water container near by to wet your hands and working utensils when they get sticky. Use water to achieve smooth and shiny surfaces. Paint the smurfs mushroom house in the desired colors. If you use watercolors for this step I recommend you seal them in the end with varnish or regular hair spray.
