❣DIY House in a Rock Using Cardboard❣

- In this video I show you how I made a house in a rock using cardboard, egg cartons, hot glue and paint. This project is super easy to make, requires no special skill and looks amazing in the end.
The house in the rock has two main elements: the house and the rock.
The house is basically made of three cardboard walls and some columns. nothing too crazy. I cut the walls from a single cardboard piece and made some indentations where the corners should be. I cut out four windows and a door. I glued a cardboard stripe on the inside of the door and windows to give the impression that the walls are really thick. The columns are also made from one piece of cardboard with indentations where the corners should be. I glued everything to a cardboard floor and ceiling. I added some LED string lights around the windows and door on the inside. I also made sure to have two LED's on the porch. I rested everything on a cardboard cylinder that will also host the batteries for the lights.
The rock is also extremely easy to make. Long stripes of cardboard glued together from the edges of the house in the shape of some arches that surround the walls of the house. The basic shape can be as irregular as any natural rock so you can't mess this up. The next step is covering these stripes with egg carton pieces. The egg cartons have a rough texture that will give our rock that awesome natural look. I sanded my rock a little bit after this step to make it look like one solid block.
Next comes the painting. I started with a beige as a base color. When this layer was dry I brushed the surface with some white so have better highlights. Next I watered down some yellow and applied on the whole surface. I did the same with some light brown but only applied it here and there. Did the same with a little black and green in the end. I let it dry before each color. Using the heavily diluted acrylics, starting with the lighter colors and finishing with the darker ones makes it easy for the darker colors to go in the texture in the end and give a pretty natural look.
That's it. This project can be finished in one day. It took me a couple of days because I was also shooting a video tutorial. I hope you'll have fun with it

Thank you!
Every time I watch, I think you couldn’t out do your previous project and then bam, you kick it up another notch. Excellent!
I kept thinking, so where is the stone she’ll put the house into? And ... half way the video... yeah right, it was cardboard too! You are a genius, Creative Mom!
Haha exactly my thoughts xD
I was thinking exactly the same thing 🤔😁👏Brilliant craftsmanship and artistry 👏👏
Has to be said. This woman is a true Artisan. No elaborate materials, no power tools. Just herself, cardboard and a bit of glue and paint. 💪 ❤️
Всегда очень жду ваши видео,идея очень не обычная,мне очень нравится! Спасибо вам за ваши чудесные работы!👍🥰💞💐💐💐💐💐
This is fantastic. I totally need to use this idea but make a weatherproofed version for my garden. I already have ideas. Thanks!
Did it work?
If you sealed the whole thing with a mix of modpodge and black paint first it would waterproof the cardboard and harden it, and then after you paint it you could seal again with matte varnish
For a second I thought it's a real rock and wondered how she's gonna fit the house inside the rock lol
Hhhh the same thing
For more than a second 😅
Eggzactly
Me too. I thought, “It’s impossible!”.
I thought was a real rock with a card board lay in thing. Was wondering how long it took to shave out the insides of the rock without breaking it.
It looks like a house of the city of Petra ! You have such an imagination! Beautiful !!!

Всегда жду с нетерпением новых видео! Спасибо огромное!
I have adhd and am constantly skipping around youtube and videos and get impatient and want to see the final product but any time I watch you videos, especially this one, I become so mesmerized and entranced, the end of the video gets there without me realizing that time had passed. I have no desire to skip ahead and miss out on the beautiful work you do. I love that I found this channel. I'm always put at ease when watching this content.
Изумительно, оригинальный светильники, так и захотелось его повторить Удачи и вдохновения вам.
So Beatifull, simple and amazing.thanks for share
This is just what I needed to close out my day at 2 am, lol. The house looks fantastic and is very ingenious. Happy Spring to all. :)
You’re so talented! At the beginning when you showed the back of your work I thought it was the rock you would be using as a reference
The look of a house with pillars dug into the rock is so fascinating and cool. It reminds me of the Petra
😍☺️
Your pieces are fantastic. As a retired structural engineer, I have a suggestion. When you added those sills below the windows, you could have placed a single sill spanning and extending beyond both windows. This would give resistance to unintended bending across the face of the wall. It would not consume a significant amount of additional material and would save the step of trimming at 4 window corners for a pair of windows.
Soooooo incredibly fun looking! How fun would it be to create the interior like a doll house set up (permanent of course) so you could look in and imagine a tiny life living there.
Вау, я помню, что просила как-то сделать домик с колоннами, мечты сбываются и это превзошло мои ожидания. Я в восторге 👍 благодарю сердечно от души
Creative Mom, What can I say but to simply be amazed with your patience and modelling skills. Wonderful. Just Wonderful. I always thought cardboard was just boxes for packing things in. How wrong I was.👍🇦🇺🤪😁☮️
You know what, you are one of the best diy artists out there. Love all your pieces and will try them myself too
When you see this you wonder why landfills are full of cardboard. I love the creativity of those that see the bigger picture. Beautiful.
Wow so beautiful and so much fun to watch. Thank u for sharing.
Just when I think you can't top your last creation, you do! I'm so addicted to your channel. Absolutely fantastic!
Me encanta que bello
Pensé que era muy difícil hacerlo en una roca real
Muy linda muy linda gracias por compartir
Your so incredibly inspiring to so many artists like my self and the young ones keep up the beautiful work...
Beautiful and Solid as Greek architecture!

Hello pretty lady. I can't believe how realistic that looks. Thank you for sharing.
Completely blown away! Enraptured and inspired! Made me happy watching it!
Hermoso, muy hábil, gracias por compartir tus ideas, bendiciones, saludos desde Ecuador 💛💛💙❤
This technique has been used by old school model railroad folks for years. Very cool
Me sorprendes cada vez. Enhorabuena y gracias por tu trabajo. 👏🏻👏🏻
I legit thought this was a real rock. This is amazing
GENIA!!!!QUE BELLEZA!!!👏👏👏
You visualized something in your mind, then you find innovative solutions to create it. For example, I would have never thought of making use of torn up cardboard egg containers as an easy, recycled solution... instead, I'd have went straight for the more traditional paper mache. Bravo to your creative mind, thank you!
Got to support a fellow Southpaw, a very talented one at that :-)
I am unbelievably amazed! Thank you for making these video! Keep up the great work!
This is a beautiful piece. For some reason, it reminds me of reading about Pompeii. I usually work in polymer these days but love to see what cardboard and other artists are creating. I pick up so many wonderful ideas and tips. Besides, I have wonderful yellow egg cartons that break my heart every time I have to throw them out...lol! Thank you for inspiring me and taking the time out to write the description. Well done!
The egg carton patching and sanding technique is mesmerizing! Thanks for this.
Excellent! Design, colors, simply excellent!
Nunca dejas de sorprenderme mamá creativa, gracias a ti he adquirido un nuevo pasatiempo con el arte reciclable, te agradezco por tu innovación y creatividad, me has sembrado una gran inspiración por crear de la nada. Que tú canal prospere así como que tus ideas no dejen de fluir.

This just blew me away. I once had a dream many years ago that I had a bathroom that looked exactly like this. It was an open room on the side of a big mountain overlooking the ocean. I've never forgotten that dream. I am in love with your work and you've inspired me to start making similar projects 🏵️
Siempre me deja sin palabras con tods esa imaginación bendiciones
