Now dilute the PVA glue with water in the same proportion. Dip a certain piece of toilet paper here and start gluing your blank. In the picture, this is the top of a papier-mâché house.
Now make the bottom of the building.
The tower next to it is made of cardboard. Take this material, roll it up to make the corners of the future structure, then draw the windows on the back side, cut them out. Where the roof will be, create a wire base for it. Begin to glue these blanks with toilet paper.
Look that in the upper part, along with the creation of this house, a semicircular balcony is made of cardboard, and the railings for it are made of wire. Continue to tape each piece of paper with toilet paper.
But be sure to let each layer dry before applying the next one. Otherwise, the work may be warped.

- toilet paper;
- PVA glue;
- newspapers;
- cold porcelain;
- masking tape;
- cardboard;
- acrylic lacquer;
- suitable paint;

- leg-split.
Take a canister, draw with a marker, where you will have a semicircular door and a window of almost the same shape. Take a soft newspaper, start sticking it to the rooftop using masking tape. Look, you need to start at the bottom. Then cover the roof in this way to the top, so that it turns out like this.
Then, using a sharp utility knife, cut out a cutout to indicate the door and window.
A mushroom will be located near this house. To make it, take a newspaper and roll it up into a tight roll. There should be a through hole inside. Attach this blank to the side of the canister using PVA glue and tape. To make a mushroom hat, take a newspaper and fold it in half a few times. Now connect the ends, fix them with tape to make a ring. You will make a kind of hat out of toilet paper, attach it with tape here. Fix the resulting hat on the leg with glue.
Then you will need toilet paper again, it will need to be rolled several times. Flatten the ends of this blank on both sides, fix them in this position with tape.
Take a pre-cut door and glue it on both sides with toilet paper. Then you need to make a mass for papier-mâché to decorate a house with it. To do this, take toilet paper, first tear it into pieces. Cover with hot water or boiling water. Leave the paper in this position until the water has cooled. Take a hand blender and use it to start converting the mass into a homogeneous mass. Water will help you with this, although at first it seems that there is too much of it, but then you will understand that it is just right. Since with this amount of moisture, the paper is easier to break with a blender.
Now you need to remove the excess water. Place a cloth on a colander, put wet paper here in portions, squeeze out excess water.
Prepare paste. To do this, put 4 tablespoons of flour in a mug, pour 150 g of cold water here, stir the mass well. Boil half a liter of water separately. Then start pouring flour liquid here in a thin stream, stirring vigorously. Boil the paste a little to thicken it. When it cools down, place it in prepared paper. After that, you need to work with a hand blender.
You will make a solid mass. Then add 3 tablespoons of flour here. Stir the mixture with a blender. Now knead it with your hands. It will turn out to be elastic, pleasant to the touch.
If you are making a papier-mâché mass, then put it in plastic containers and place it in the refrigerator for up to a week. When you decide to use it, you just take the containers out of there.
You use this mass on some workpiece, when the products are completely dry, they will become very durable. You will be convinced of this. After all, now it will be necessary to coat the house.
When the papier-mâché on the house dries up, attach a sheet of cardboard to the bottom of it. To do this, you need to make paired holes in the cardboard, thread a wire here, twist it already in the floor of the papier-mâché house.
Then tape the bottom of the stand with toilet paper. By this time, the coating on the door was dry. Prepare cold china and coat with this mixture. Then, using a wooden stick or a stack, apply a pattern here to make it appear that the door is wooden.
From cold porcelain, sculpt elements for it, such as hinges, a handle. Attach them here. Also fix here a ring of wire that will help open this door.
Very soon, an amazing papier-mâché house will turn out. With your own hands, you need to cover it with putty at this stage, dry it and sand it with sandpaper. Then start applying cold porcelain. Don't forget about the roof. Here you can create a drawing that looks like an amanita mushroom cap using the back of the round marker.
Take a piece of cold porcelain and mold the carved details for the attic window out of it. You can also create a ladder from it and put it here.
If you do not have cold porcelain, then you can use salted dough to decorate the house.
Use similar elements to make a beautiful edging for the windows, then prepare the flowers and attach them to the walls.
Such beautiful flowers and various leaves can be made using special stamps. First, you will roll out cold china or salted dough, then use them to create similar decorations.
Leave the papier-mâché house for a while to dry. When this happens, cover it with brown acrylic paint or gouache. Then take a clean brush, and when the paint dries a little, begin to rinse it off with this tool. See what happened and what will become at this stage. As a result, only the contours of the paint will remain there.
This is what you need. Now take a scarlet paint, paint with it the cap of the large mushroom, which has become the roof, as well as the small fly agaric located on the side. Then, using green paint, you will create leaves and grass around the house, and with orange paint you will make other decoration elements. Also, walk in yellow in the area of / u200b / u200bthe windows, so that it seems that there is a light on here.
To make a fence, take ice cream sticks and glue on the back of the string. And to create a nest, tie it in advance from the prepared twine.
Attach the fence in place. To do this, take some cold porcelain, place it on the corner of the cardboard and fix the ladder. Then use such a tool to make corrugated grass.
When the porcelain is dry, start painting the grass green. Inside, close the wire on the floor of the house. To do this, cut off a piece of carpet or similar fabric to do this. Place the patch inside and glue it on.
To decorate the door, take two strips of jeans, cut out such elements from them and attach them as decoration.
To make the glue dry faster, it is better to use Moment rather than PVA. Attach the door in place, hold it a little in such a position to dry out.
To make a rope ladder, twist two strings, insert toothpicks or similar sticks between them. Fix them with glue. In the same way, you will decorate the stairs on the other side. Then cover it with brown paint. By this time, the nest is complete, which you will put on the papier-mâché house. With your own hands, you will crochet it according to the principle of a hat.
