Hi, in this instructable, I sculpted a fairy house using paper clay, a taco shell box, a jar, pvc pipe, hot glue, acrylic paint and woodland scenic fine turf and clump-foliage.

Step 1: House Underneath Structure

I used a taco shell box to cut out 3 different sized houses, cutting notches in the two smaller ones to stack them. I used hot glue to hold them together.

Step 2: Creating Steps

I used varying lengths of PVC pipe to create steps. Using the taco shell box, I covered the top of the steps for a better base for the clay.

Step 3: Siding the House

I rolled the clay out with a rolling pin before putting it on the house. I drew lines for the siding and etched in the doors and windows.

Step 4: Window Trim

I used snakes of clay to go around the windows. Then used my silicone tool to add a wood grain texture.

Step 5: Top of the Tree Stumps

I drew lines with my clay tool and used various caps and the end of a pen for circles.

Step 6: Tree Bark

After rolling the clay out with a rolling pin, I attached the clay around the steps and tree trunk base. Using my silicone tool I pushed the clay around, until I had the desired tree bark.

Step 7: More Siding and Windows

I added clay, drew in windows, etched in lines for the siding and added flat pieces of clay for the window trim. I used my dental explorer to create wood grain on the trim.

Step 8: Roofing

I rolled my clay out and cut it into little squares of varying size. I used a tool to draw lines into the tiles before applying them. Then I used clay snakes to go around the edges of the roof, using my silicone tool to draw in the wood grain.

Step 9: Dry Time

I let my fairy house dry for about a week before painting.

Step 10: Base Coat of Browns

I used a light brown for the top of the stump and steps. A medium brown for the bark and a darker brown for the house. I let this completely dry before adding more colors.

Step 11: Brown Wash

I made a mixture of brown paint, jet dry and water. I used the wash to add detail to the top of the stump and stairs.

Step 12: Adding Colors to the Stump

I dry brushed green, white, ochre and ended with dry brushing a little of the original brown to help blend the four colors and make it look more natural.

Step 13: Adding Detail to the Roof

I dry brushed a light blue and green onto the roof and used the original brown when needed for blending.

Step 14: Crackle

I applied crackle paint and for the life of me I can not remember what happened, but something came up and I accidently left this to dry to long and I did not get the look I was going for. The teal paint only slightly cracked.
