Modeling the shape of a house

Mix kneaded concrete powder according to the product instructions and spread the mass around a storage jar of "Livan". Click on Modelling clay and shape into fantasy houses

Extra tip
If the plasticine is too fluid and sagging during the forming process, this is not a bad thing further - the more unusual the shape of the house, the more enchanting the modelled result.

Gnome doors & windows

For the Modelling of the doors , a narrow slab of kneaded concrete is pressed onto the already formed house and pressed in. Thus the door lies deeper in the house, at the same time the door frame is formed. For a reinforced wood look, grooves can be carved into the door and a door knob can be added

The windows are also made with the help of small preformed kneading boards. For each window pane, you press a small depression into the window, thus creating the typical look.

Unique fantasy roofs

Each roof is formed by a Tealight holders or an upside down Terracotta Coaster is usedas a modelling body(remains in the cottage). First the basic shape of the roof is modelled on it, then plasticine is used for the "crazy" shapes.

The Wichtelmützen roof is made by taking a piece of wire and wrapping it around the lid of the storage glass "Livan" (fixed with hot glue). The wire is formed, then covered with wrought concrete.

Extra tip
The kneaded concrete is applied in thin layers one after the other. Please note that it is normal for the concrete to sag a little while forming. However, once it has dried a little, it can be modelled more accurately. In addition, a small chimney can be formed from a small block of kneaded concrete.

As soon as the houses are dry, they are simply painted with paint and additionally covered with moss and shingles.
