DIY Hobbit House - Air Dry Clay Tutorial

Sharing DIY Hobbit House video tutorial works with air dry clay - best homemade clay. I use salsa jar, cardboard from packaging box, and aluminium foil to build the house frame and the land contour.
In this video, you'll see that I use thread for the hinges. With this unusual hinges (it's not the strongest material but easy to make and available in almost every home), you can open and close the door.
When I went to Hobbiton, the Lord of the Ring movie set in New Zealand, I saw the door was opened to the inside of the house.
But, in this craft project I make the door open to outside. This way, we'll have enough space to put in 2 or 3 LED Tealight candle inside the jar.
Painting is really important here. I really enjoy the painting process making plain white dry clay turns to an enchanted house. I use acrylic paints. Don't worry about the brand though. Any acrylic paints would be fine. I use mixed painting technique here.
You'll see that I use diluted paints for grass, stone texture and timber planks but then I use solid, thick paints for roof tiles, moss, and bricks at chimney area.
Honestly, I love my own creation 😁 I think this is an awesome hobbit hole and I will not give this away to anyone. If you like DIY Hobbit House, and want to make one, watch the whole video.
You'll find that it is easy to make coolest hobbit hole project using our own hands.

[@glitzyeyezz5252]

I’m thinking of creating this house. It’s beautiful. You have added a hinged door and covered it with clay. Will the hinge crack after the movement of the door?

[@clayitnow]

Thanks. The hinge is fine until now🙂🥰🤗

[@shevfdo5612]

very nice and creative

Gracias.

[@anamariafabris8684]

Parabéns. Te acompanho sempre no UA-cam. Amo demais suas peças. Esses materiais que vc usa pode ficar na área externa? Num jardim, por exemplo? Obg 😍

[@clayitnow]

Muito obrigado pelo seu apoio. Este ofício é para interior😊

[@elianadamaska]

I was wondering, how do you get pieces that are more standalone like the shingles to stay on without scoring and smoothing it on? I've wanted to do some more 3d items of projects but don't know how without scoring and smoothing which makes it look flat

[@clayitnow]

Ah..then, try with thick cardstock or cardboard.

[@lindafriend9392]

Wow, that’s very impressive!

[@clayitnow]

Thanks😊

[@sarahbeckhaus7233]

Do you need to wait for the clay to dry before you paint it?

[@luzmireyamanceracastillo2182]

hola muy bonito tu trabajo ,como pide una la arcilla que utilizas ,tienes algún vídeo de como hacerla ?

[@clayitnow]

Gracias. Here is the link to homemade paper clay I use: ua-cam.com/video/iu0evRb8R0Q/v-deo.html

[@texasgemtree]

Hi, do you let each layer completely dry first before adding a new part? Or do all at one time and let dry. How long does it usually need to dry the thicker parts? (like the stuff around windows, etc.

[@clayitnow]

Hi.. Yes, I wrap the house with clay section by section😊 The thicker part took about 3-4 days to a week to dry.

[@texasgemtree]

@@clayitnow Thank you! Practicing patience!

[@clayitnow]

😊

[@pamelamohr3154]

@@clayitnow ... Your work is beautiful, I am just starting to play with clay and I really like it ... I was wondering why my clay crack when drying??? I Left it overnight and it's all crack 😥

[@ruthsrelaxation1755]

Hello I love this, I would like to try and make one, do you supply any templates please ?

[@clayitnow]

I don't make a template and cutting the cardboard based on the jar size🙂 Happy crafting

[@algeaman355]

Hey I love this piece and I want to make it at home, do you have any more precise measurements for the pieces that aren't the front panel?

[@clayitnow]

Thanks. I don't have precise measurement 🙂 I am just following the jar size I use. Have fun with your craft.

[@d.morgan9247]

Would this be took hard for a beginner? No experience.

[@elsyocampo8738]

Hemosas. Me. Encantannn

[@clayitnow]

Thanks

[@lylebrown6132]

Could you use newspaper for your paper clay or just tissue paper?

[@clayitnow]

I use tissue paper to make paper clay from best home made clay recipe, you can see that in my video ua-cam.com/video/iu0evRb8R0Q/v-deo.html
For newspaper, because the fibres are harder than tissue, I experiment with simple recipe without glue, video: ua-cam.com/video/6raCUtq9pHU/v-deo.html

[@Garragirl1]

What colour did you use on the stones?

[@clayitnow]

The stone was painted with diluted burnt umber.

[@charleighhudson9441]

Amazing! But instead of tin I used fake moss

[@clayitnow]

That's nice idea👍😍
