As with most air dry clay projects… these work just as well with oven baked polymer clay. I was looking for little holiday houses to use for the upcoming Christmas holidays and this one was just the thing. The original tutorial is in Spanish but a button to translate into English (or, the language of your preference) shows up when I load the page. The house tutorial is towards the end of the page.
Why the end of the page? Because there are two other good, useful tutorials ahead of it to try out.
On the house tutorial part of the writing suggests forming the walls ahead of placing the roof tiles. With oven bake clay I would also use a combo of thing white strips of clay and liquid clay to stick the roof to the building parts. I would also likely do the initial tiles and house parts separately – bake all of the panels – and then use plain clay and liquid clay to join the parts. I’d prop everything with scrunched paper or foil for the final bake so nothing warps.
For a light either a very small votive candle or one of the little fake LED candles which is what I have in mind.
