Small fairy houses are totally cute and decorative at the same time. They are easy Modelling material to knead and you can create many different ones at once. How about a fairy village? We show you how to install an internal lighting - the highlight!
Here's how it works:
A Glass for tea lights and a terracotta pot serve us as a basic form for house and roof. On the one hand to save material, on the other hand to light the house from the inside later.
Place the tea light in front of you with the opening facing down. This way you can place an LED tea light under it later.
We have chosen white and blue WePam masses for our house. A different colour combination is of course also possible.
Begin to knead the WePam mixture smoothly and lay it around the house. Now press the WePam mixture into shape so that it Glass for tea lights covers the entire house. Use a modelling tool or shish kebab to expose the windows in the WePam compound. Any unevenness or bulges can be smoothed out by moistening your fingers and then smoothing the mass. This works the same way with the modelling tools
The next step is to knead a little WePam, in our example sand-coloured WePam, and form it into a door panel and two small rolls. Now press the door plate against the front of the house and carve vertical lines into the door plate with the help of a modelling tool.
Place the rolls around the top of the windows.
Then mix the colours white and a grey Black WePam compound and form a multitude of small balls. These are used as windowsills and as foundation walls by simply placing the "little stones" next to each other.
If the WePam mass becomes too dry, you can make it supple again with 2 drops of water. Then start to form the roof. To do this, take the terracotta pot and knead the WePam mass for the roof
Then roll out the mass and form a roof. With the modelling tool you can form decorative grooves or indicate small tiles. There are no limits to your imagination. Of course you can also change the shape. In our example we have decided to use a pointed shape.
When the house is completely dry (min. 24 hours) glue two bark slices together and put the house on top. Decorate with Iceland moss and miniature trees, which you can also fix with hot glue if necessary.

Alternative construction method:
In this example we have increased the WePam mass by Acrylic balls modelled and later illuminated them. For this you save the opening of the out
Form the windows and make plates of WePam, which you use for the doors. Press them against the house and make grooves with a shashlik skewer or modelling tool. Make windowsills and other decorations with WePam and place them on your house.
Modelling Now put the roof on the ball. We have decided to use petals. With the one fairy house we made small leaves and then pressed them firmly, with our blue roof we made a flower and put it on the ball as a roof.

Now your house is ready and you can start decorating. For example, you can put your house on slices of bark or in bowls and decorate it with garlands and Icelandic moss. Put the lights in the hole in the Acrylic ball light chain.
