Multifunction Mushroom Home, Stunning and Helpful Craft from Waste

Steps to make mushroom home:

To start with, draw the form of the home on the cardboard. I’m sharing my hand sketch under. You may redraw the form or print this and enlarge it to your need measurement. 

Begin with a circle, diameter 9.5cm (3.7″) and measure about 7cm (2.7″) to get to the bottom. Decide how broad you need for the bottom of the mushroom. Mine is about 6.5cm (2.5″).

Then, draw the curve line from left and proper of the circle to the aspect of the bottom. After that, draw the mushroom head – free form (as you want).

Use baking paper to repeat the define of all form and the middle half/ door with opening. Lower the baking paper to make patterns.

Paste the patterns on the cardboard and lower the cardboard. You’ll have 1 full mushroom home define, 3 door form and a couple of set of window shutters.

We’ll have 3 layers of door so we lower 3 items cardboard for the door

Subsequent step, lower the cardboard for the bottom with steps on the doorway.

I lower the cardboard to those sizes for the bottom and stick them with scorching glue.

• 12cm (4.7″) x 10cm (3.9″) – 1 piece
• 7cm (2.7″) x 8cm (3.1″) – 1 piece
• 2cm (0.8″) x 8cm (3.1″) – 2 items
• 1cm (0.4″) x 7cm (2.7″) – 2pieces
• 7cm (2.7″) x 2cm (0.8″) – 1piece

When end assembling the mushroom home, I connect the home to the bottom.

Then, I refill the mushroom head with used packaging paper. I maintain including the paper till I’m pleased with the quantity after which wrap the paper with masking tapes. On the finish, I lower the small mushroom form and add 3D mushroom paper to make it stands out. 

In spite of everything the form established, I apply clay paste on all of the floor. I make the paste from the combination of plaster of Paris, flour and water with peanut butter consistency. You may take a look at my primary clay texture paste recipe as a information however you should add extra flour/ plaster to make it thicker.

Alternatively, you need to use traditional retailer purchased/ selfmade air dry clay to cowl the cardboard floor in conventional manner by rolling the clay to a skinny sheet. 

However, I would like to make use of spatula/ palette knife to unfold the clay which is quicker and simpler. If you wish to try this, you may add water to your clay to make it delicate and spreadable. 

The subsequent step, I exploit sand paper to clean the clay floor after the clay paste dry.

After that, we’re prepared to color the home and switch it to a good looking mushroom home. I begin by masking all floor with gentle blue acrylic paints (mixing blue with white and somewhat little bit of water).

Then, I exploit burnt umber wash to make the mushroom seems to be extra attention-grabbing.

I selected purple, blue, gray and burnt umber to make rustic wooden look. 

Lastly, I exploit white acrylic paints with dry brush method.
