❣DIY Witch House Using Cardboard❣

I made witch house recycling some cardboard from some boxes I had laying around. I only bought the colors, the hot glue and a little piece of craft foam that I used for the hinges. It took me about five days to finish.
I started by drawing and cutting the cardboard walls of the house. Then I made the cardboard roof and another smaller roof over the entrance. I added some basic elements like the chimney, the windows and the door. When the basic shape was finished I started adding the smaller details like roof tiles and small wooden boards all over the surface of the house. I tried to place them in a crooked manner to make the witch house look realistically old and messy. I added some bricks to the chimney and also made flooring and and door details using the same kind of cardboard. For the hinges I used a little piece of craft foam I had. I made the textured wood using a ball pen and pressing the wooden pattern deep in the cardboard. I also made some holes in the cardboard for each wooden board so it looks like it has nails. This texture adds such a nice realistic effect and it helps a lot in the next step when adding color and patina. Painting the little house was fun. Remember I told you about the texture? Here's how it works. I cover the surface in a dark color first. Then I add a very bright color or even white, but only to the surface of the texture, so I get a nice contrast. On top of that bright color you can add other colors as well. I made the door red and the roof green 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. Have fun!

🤦🏻‍♀️People asking for measurements and templates are COMPLETELY missing the point of this free form craft.
The crafty mom made this amazing house WITHOUT a template or measuring with a ruler.
This should inspire you to just go for it! If a wall or roof piece doesn't fit, then so what?🤷🏻‍♀️Just cut it to fit, it's just cardboard. There is NO MEASURING except by eye. She is showing you the way to create with freedom!☺️
If you have to ask for a pattern then you shouldn't try this. Just admire her work and move on.🤨

[@user-sg6yh9ou5c]

Великолепная избушка! Прям хочется сотворить подобное. Я новичок и дилетант в декупаже, а избушка не требует сложных техник и материалов. Буду пробовать.

[@cooleshaka]

I feel sooo clumsy seeing this. Amazing work and creativity. Thanks for sharing.

I love that you aren’t a perfectionist in the process and show you can easily adjust without having to make a million measurements. Beautiful

[@mother_of_doxies]

The fact that you have children and still have time to do this is the most amazing part of the entire video ! Beautiful work! Also, a proper witch always has a purple front door ❤

[@MarinaBalashova.]

[@user-ly9qk2qk1o]

[@user-dr3qm7oe5c]

Ариша Бригас неужели получилось?))

[@geoffankrett7012]

I really can't understand how anybody could give this the thumbs down. It looks absolutely brilliant and beautiful. It must be down to jealousy because it's something anybody would want to see on display in there home. I know I certainly would.

[@ctfaesa1025]

Thumbs down for not being being able to produce the same outcome, perhaps? Haha

[@skyhigh33716]

Even mother Teresa would have thumbs down if she was alive and making videos….humans are like that..hateful for no reason and jelous …..

[@user-xo7jt9pf5v]

Браво!!!Что тут еще можно сказать. Я смотрел видео с открытым ртом. Вроде ничего особенного...обычный картон...но, круто!!!Вы умничка!!!Успехов в творчестве!!!

[@meldtoys5154]

Lots of leftover moving cartons brought me here. Brilliant!

[@tamirerez2547]

Beautiful work.
As a graphic designer in my past, I can tell, the most fun works are those without need to be accurate. Works in free-hand, no roolers, no centimeters, no compass, just to be free. Like a free drawing. This BEAUTIFUL old house is one of these works. Looking like a house from old children story...
You build it as if you DRAW the house. Free, no measures, no blue print, no plan.
Real fun.
Ty for good video, and sorry for my english...

[@Funnygalsproductions]

As soon as I seen this I scoured the house for all cardboard I could find. 5 days later it’s built! I need to paint it next but my wife loves this project so much she wanted to get in on helping. Since she loves to paint canvas art , I asked if she would like to do the honors to bring it alive. Needless to say , she was excited 😆 about that! Thank you ! Love to share what we have done!

[@user-dk4dy1fd1g]

Домик чудесный! Спасибо за МК, обязательно сотворю себе. Творческих идей Вам и здоровья!

[@nightstringers]

I don't know what I'm more impressed with the build or the painting . I love this .A true work of art.

[@user-px9sc2qt4z]

Безумно красиво! Вы большой мастер и молодец!

[@sinata5288]

Какая вы выдумщица и большая труженица!!! Всегда восхищаюсь вашими работами!

[@sidilicious11]

I especially like your fantastic creations right before they are painted. It shows off your cardboard sculpting prowess.

[@SamsungjJ-uu3dm]

Красота. Смотрела, оторваться невозможно. Благодарю, очень хочется такой домик.

[@jennifergordon80]

Being able to just watch you create, is an honor, truly.

[@connieb6161]

How could anyone gives this video a thumbs down, unless they are jealous of your creativity and talent?

[@mother_of_doxies]

Probably someone who hates witches

[@richardmccann4815]

​@@discool146if you freeze the frame, you can use a tape measure. And math. But you won't think or do what you need. The data is there. It's not her job, she shares her talent! It can be any size, I'm making one for my cats, much larger. Besides, it's only cardboard!! You can make a million cut parts and it costs nothing! Thro the wrong sizes away ( recycle!) and add more if it's not right. My goodness. It's not rocket science! lol!

[@J-E-R]

Волшебно! Смотрел и улыбался от удовольствия!

[@rosmalinamalina9260]

Creativity handed your hands. A real artist.

[@MegaAlexbond]

почему то ,смотря на это великолепие, сразу вспомнилось далекое детство,когда тоже сам делал попытки из бумаги или пластилина делать замки и солдатиков. аж на душе потеплело)

[@CardboardExpert]

Раньше все мастерили что то ) ностальгия)

[@_AHTOXA_]

Руки правильно росли, это факт

[@atlanteum]

In an age overwhelmed by synthetic, digital entertainment, this is just breathtaking. Thank you for sharing such inspired, beautiful work -

[@nicoladaley2610]

Thanks for the entertainment during these stay at home times! I made the witches house over the last few days. I really enjoyed it 😊

[@user-zi7oe8lf7x]

Прекрасная работа! Вы супер!!! Спасибо за идею. Сделала похожий, только новогодний. Получилось!

[@candiigurl7893]

I swear watching your videos is therapeutic- not to mention inspirational. ❤

[@VulpinetideCuteTimes0w0]

I used to love doing things like this when i was young, i don't know why I stopped. I lost a lot of motivation the more depression started to increase through out my 20's. It effects my artistic creativity over all.

[@briezeee]

I totally understand everything you're saying ... You should try again tho ... You really should ... You have a gift fam .. use it.. ✌️

[@rudiehull1446]

I totally understand dat 1 Bod me too! x

[@davidradecky5399]

Cardboard is so underrated as a medium to use in model building. Its either plastic or clay or wood. but cardboard is everywhere and the awesome thing about its free material wise. its amazing what you can do with some cardboard, hot glue, and some paint. I do this technique in model making as a tool or to create a still life for my illustration work. I can literally create whole scenes by building a cardboard diorama. And I can create the scene I want. Its the perfect medium to work in.

[@user-jt6jb8xn7m]

Ловкость рук и никакого волшебства) А серьезно, просто магия, шедеврально! Погнал с ребенком творить! Дизы поставили, у кого коробок не оказалось или мозгов!

What a wonderful gift that God gave you!

Это потрясающе! Влюбилась в ваше творение!!!!

[@joanjetson55]

Too, too creative! Absolutely brilliant! Very artfully constructed and cleverly designed. The distressed wood is so well done and the painting is realistic and subtle. IMHO, a proper witch can paint her front door in any color she chooses.

[@KashtanchiK2009]

Молодчинка какая!!!! Надо же так все придумать! Понятно, что "рука набита", но и сразу видно - Талантище. Так все сразу предусмотреть, выкроить, вырезать, придумать " на ходу" смогут единицы. Красота!!!! Спасибо за видео. Буду ломать себе мозг.

[@GardenWithFairiesDIY]

Я тоже полюбовалась, но вернулась к лепным домикам. Такая невероятная продуманность на начальном этапе точно не для меня. Я даже эскизы не рисую, чтобы сохранить интригу и не заскучать потом.

[@fair_citizen89]

Хорошая работа. Архитектура дома очень понравилась. Но крышу такой ярко-зелёной не нужно было делать, хватило бы едва заметного тёмно-зелёного. И красная дверь смотрится не совсем уместно. В остальном - высший пилотаж. Руки из плеч растут)

[@_AHTOXA_]

Детям в самый раз. Цвета изучать, оттенки. Да и проще на предметы указывать: дверь, окно, труба, крыша и т.д.
