DIY Christmas village with miniature houses using paper and clay paste

Did you build that Christmas village? YES! How's about the snowman? the bridge? Santa's sleigh? Are those handmade? Yes! Yes! Yes! Ehm...people thought I bought it. No! It's all DIY - handmade with simplest and cheapest material around us. I made miniature houses with toilet paper roll tubes, built the terrain with used Styrofoam from packing box, used paper bag., and homemade air dry clay paste/ modelling paste.
I make my own paste with wall filler, a kind of joint compound or wall putty. Make sure you bought the material (in powder form) that has clay and glue content in it. Just add water, mix it and use it.
Do you know what? it's easy! Trust me.
The final village looks cute and beautiful for Christmas decoration.
You can easily make few of them with slight variation for Christmas gift or selling. I think it would be nice for holiday craft too where everyone build the houses together and miniature items for the village. What do you think?

I would ❤❤❤ love to see you do a Bethlehem Nativity village like what you’d see from the expensive Fontanini Nativity Village collection. I can’t afford to buy their beautiful collections, but I’d love to learn how to do some miniature village shops. Please take a look of their collections & see if you want to do it. Thank you & I love your videos.

[@clayitnow]

Will consider that for Christmas this year.

[@ThaoNguyen-uh7ez]

Awesome! I will look forward to see your videos. Thank you 😊

[@cecilebarker7782]

Very nice, did you reinforce tubes? Some are white inside.

[@clayitnow]

I use clay paste to make the cardboard tubes rigid

[@oakmaiden2133]

And now I’m thinking, add paint to the clay paste.

[@clayitnow]

Oh I think about that too😁

[@oakmaiden2133]

As I’m watching I also see a cardboard box decorated inside and out.Cut to open as panoramic landscape. When closed , looks like a Christmas gift.

[@gohawks3571]

That's awesome! Hmmmm😉

[@clayitnow]

Wow ..great idea!

[@tauriusconsolegamer]

Can we use plaster of paris as paste?

[@clayitnow]

Yes.

[@user-rl9we1ff5t]
