Thank you so much for such a nice and informative video! I have to say the Internet is rather fantastic. I have been making papier maché bowls and animal sculptures ( dragons, badgers and foxes mostly) for years and have felt rather alone as I knew about no one who did the same, and now I go out on YT and find fantastic videos like yours and realise I am part of a creative tribe, that is great! Those acorn houses are utterly adorable. I am so glad to have found your channel and now I will have such a nice time watching your other videos!

It's great to know you can make the clay without a blender! Thanks for sharing, Sharon. That was a cute little acorn you made. And the big one, WOW! I look forqard to watching the video.

I’ve let mine soak shred by hand, let soak and used a hand mixer. Works great 😊

I have been a fan and using Jonni's recipe for years. That is also how I found you and immediatly subscribed. I love making miniatures and using paper clay or mache. Thanks for a another wonderful video.

You're the best.

I have tons of old paperwork so I will check out her videos as well. I adore your videos. I love them all. Thank you

Oh my goodness that huge acorn is amazing!!!!!..I looove it!!🩷🩷🩷

I think I may be turning my cardboard house into a fairy house and I'm kicking around ideas for making "organic" shaped walls. this is on my top 2 list. Thank you for sharing.

I like the warped parts! Very cute and thank you for the paper clay info.❤

I tweaked your recipe a little for the egg carton clay. Instead of tearing up the dry carton (which my hands and head recoil from) I first placed the whole carton in the sink with hot water then poured boiling water over it. Let it sit 15 minutes. Then tore them up....may hands thanked me and my soul returned. Then I chopchopped in the Ninja. Sadly, the unit must be shot. It was after a friend who passed and I think it has to be very dull....it doesn't do anything well. Anyway........I did 1/4 your recipe and was happy with the results. I also added dried decomposed wood (it's like coffee grounds but finer, wet brown in the tree, medium brown when dried. It added some nice texture and absorbed the bit of extra moisture. I plan to use this for paths leading up through the forest understory surrounding the fairy treehouse, then paint with white glue then press in the finely grained composted wood. It comes from the interior of a downed tree that's been on the ground for many years. I made a similar clay with just the composted wood a couple weeks ago and liked that too, but talk about texture! Thanks for all your vids, I always learn SO MUCH!!

Warped is whimsical.

What a great idea,thanks for showing the details on how to make it.Can’t wait to have a go.

Omg it’s beautiful how you made your little house and the big one too…thank you so much for sharing this video….🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

Thanks Sharon 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Love the Acorn❤

Superb!

Excellent video with clear instructions. Thank you!!!

When you mentioned being careful of the mold in the Olympics I know what you mean. My daughter worked at Kalaloch Lodge for three years and her car would have mold all over if she wasn't vigilant in washing it.
