❣DIY Fairy Tower Using Cardboard and Trash❣

I made this fairy tower recycling some cardboard from some pizza boxes I had laying around, a plastic bottle and a carton bucket. I only bought the colors and the hot glue. It took me about five days to finish. I started by drawing and cutting the bucket at the bottom to fit the plastic bottle. I then glued the bottle in place. I glued some cardboard stripes together to make some thicker wooden beams for the roof. Then I made the cardboard roof tiles and glued them in place starting from the bottom of the roof. I added some basic elements like the chimney, the windows and the door. When the basic shape was finished I started adding some rocks at the bottom of the tower. I made those using egg cartons and tearing them in smaller irregular pieces. I added some rocks to the chimney and also made the textured wood using a ball pen and pressing the wooden pattern deep in the cardboard. This texture adds such a nice realistic effect and it helps a lot in the next step when adding color and patina. I started painting by covering the surface in a dark color first. This will serve as a base. Make it go in all the cracks and the deepest holes. It will act like a shadow and contrast layer when we add brighter colors. I add a very bright color, or even white, only to the surface of the texture, gently rubbing the brush with very little pigment so I don’t get it in the cracks. On top of that bright color you can add other colors as well. You can make it brighter and more colorful, it’s your choice. I made the door red and the roof blue but you can play around with any color combination you like. I hope you liked my video and got some inspiration to start your own projects.
