This project started off as some polymer clay owls that I made for the grandbaby to play with. She helped with the painting of them and gluing on the rhinestone eyes.
Well she enjoyed this owl family so much that between her playing with them and watching the Flintstones I became inspired to build her a house to play with them in.
This is the cheapest project ever. The only store bought elements to this project were the E600 glue, the Rhinestones, the paint, and the polymer clay, and all of thosethings were stuff I had on hand from other projects. So no out of pocket cost on this craft project at all. Everything else was found when we went on a walk.
The walls are made of gravel from our driveway, and a few rhinestones mixed in for bling effect.,
The roof is made from pine bark found in our own yard, the tree is made from a cutting from our azalea bush, and the grass to the right is moss from the edge of the woods near our house.
We used E600 glue and hot glue to glue everything into place, the hot gluw works better on the moss and the pine bark, but the E600 worked great on everything else.
The stepping stones, the yellow flowers, lady bug, sign, mailbox and sun were made from polymer clay and painted with craft paint
The plank is just some random board one ofthe men in the family brought home for whatever reason and i found it laying around and used it for the base.
The pond was simply blue paint on the board, the the stone border glued around it with E600 glue and then inside of that stone border I squirted E600 glue and let it dry it gave it a water like effect, and the glue evened itself out to be a flat surface. No fuss there.
Here is the beginning of the Flinstone house craft project in its early stages. Each stone was glued together with E600 glue
The owls as mentioned were polymer clay baked in the oven and then painted and then detailed in black with a fine point sharpie before being sprayed with a spray on sealant.
The sun is held glued with E600 glue to a pencil and then stuck into a base made of polymer clay and glued onto the board. The azalea pieces that are acting ass a tree was also in a polymer clay base that is covered in moss so you cannot see it.
The stepping stones aren't flat I wish I had pressed them onto the board to get the shape of the board before baking them but I didn't, but im not terribly unhappy with the rustic-ness of it all.
Here is a view of the entire project from above. complete with rhinestone floor cuz even a Flinstone style owl family needs some bling in their life right?
Apologies for having not posted recently but the Holiday's tend to get to me, and not to mention Ive been elbows deep in filling decal orders. A LOT of people must be getting yeti decals and car windshield decals for Christmas.
