Clay Mushroom House

Mushroom house from fairy tales. I remember in the Smurfs, they all lived in these little houses, so cute!

Materials needed: White, black, flesh color, orange, yellow, dark brown, and light brown clay

Instructions:

1. Take a piece of red clay and shape it into an umbrella shape as shown in the picture

2. Roll a circle with white clay, press it slightly, then press it onto the top of the mushroom

3. Press again to adjust the overall shape of the house
4. Make several white circles and paste them on the roof
5. Use coffee color for the door, draw wood grain lines on it
6. Use dark brown for windows, window frames, and the eaves above the windows also use coffee color
7. Surround the door with white strips to make a door frame, fold a white strip into a corner above to make a door eave, then paste it
8. Use green clay to roll into a circle and press flat to make the grass

9. Use light green clay to roll into thin strips and paste them randomly around the door and windows to become vines
10. Then make several flowers and leaves of various colors and paste them randomly beside the house

11. Don't forget to glue two yellow circles on the wooden door as handles

12. Once everything is in place, the house is complete!

Isn't it very cute? Let's make it!

Clay Mushroom Couple

Let's continue making clay crafts. The third project will be two little mushroom couples.

Materials needed: White, black, flesh color, orange, yellow, dark brown, and light brown clay

Instructions:

1. Take out green clay and roll it into an oval shape, then press it flat. It doesn't need to be particularly regular, but also shouldn't be too thin. This part is used to make the ground under the mushrooms

2. Use a toothpick to poke some small holes on it to create a rough texture
3. Let's make the smaller mushroom first. Use white clay to make the mushroom stem; use light brown clay to roll into a water droplet shape, then press one side inward as shown in the picture to make the small mushroom cap. Then connect the two parts
4. Use yellow clay to make the mushroom spots. They don't need to be very uniform in size
5. Now let's make the larger mushroom. Use flesh color clay to make the mushroom stem; use dark brown clay to roll into an oval shape, then press one side inward to make the large mushroom cap. Then glue the small cap to the mushroom stem

6. Use orange clay to make the mushroom spots
7. Now both mushrooms are done. Let's add some decorations to them. Use pink clay to make two small dots as red cheeks, use black clay to roll into thin strips to make eyes. Look at their backs! 😊

8. Finally, adjust the positions of the mushrooms and find a suitable angle

Our little mushrooms are now complete. Aren't they very cute!

Decorated Mushroom House

Who lives in the mushroom house? Is it little rabbits, elves, or Thumbelina? You can also build a mushroom house!

Materials needed: A small bottle with a lid (it really needs to be very small!), various colors of clay (white, blue, orange, red, green)

Instructions:

1. Wrap white soft clay around the outside of the small bottle

2. Use a mineral water bottle cap to press into the side of the small bottle to create a circular indentation
3. Take away the soft clay on top and make the small house's windows

4. Roll old blue clay into thin long strips and wrap them around the windows once to make window frames

5. Use orange clay to press into a door
6. Use green and red clay to make a circle of flowers to decorate the small house

7. Use red clay to wrap the bottle cap, then use white clay to add dots on top, and the roof is done!

The small house is now complete! Who will live in it?
