I found a birdhouse for $1.24 at my local Walmart. I turned it into an EPIC fantasy house.
Now, I want to take that same $1.24 birdhouse and use TRASH to make an EPIC FANTASY HOUSE!

Well since Garman SAID he was going to include a link to this video and didn’t, I GUESS I’ll cover for him and include it here. (What would he do without me?)

I’d be lost without you buddy!
Quick tip: You can save even more money by applying all of these techniques to milk or juice cartons. Then it’s 100% trash-bashed.
Sal absorbes water. PVA has a lot of water on it. :) I think that is what is happening
For a foam core equivalent for stuff like this (trash builds), I use the Styrofoam meat trays.
I even cut the sides down into bricks so very little goes to waste.
Helpful tip for the paper mache is using rubbing alcohol on it afterwards. Rubbing alcohol evaporates much faster than the water, it also penetrated the material deeper so it displaces the water helping it to dry quicker and also adhere stronger to the material it is being applied to.
Wet paper mache will grow mold. Also ... why not try just regular old dirt you find outside in your mix? Its free.
Not only is this absolutely great for the planet, but honestly it's the way most of us have been making scenery for years. The vast majority of gamers do not have basements full of crafting materials, hot wire cutters ect ect, i have been making scenery from cardboard, packing foam and plastic waste for years and you can still achieve great results. ☺️👍
*eyes the egg carton* My state doesn't have styrofoam egg cartons. Styrofoam is banned here (California). Meat has plastic packaging and eggs, cardboard. Though that just makes it a twist on the challenge.😊
I honestly like both parts of crafting. I love whimsy of creating the structure, and the intensity of getting the perfect paint job done. 🤷♀️
I have used corrugated delivery pizza box liners, cheese and all, to make miniature farm fields.
Dude, you are quickly becoming one of my favorite crafters. Always great to see your process; not just the end result, but the successes AND the failures. So crucial.
For the stucco look, using the pressed paper egg cartons also looks good.
Excellent crafting and finding alternatives. But my word I cannot believe they have non cardboard egg cartons any more!
This channel is absolutely fantastic!
Things I love about this channel:
1. You don't have ridiculously long intro clip.
2. You have good background music. Not those auto-tuned disco-garbage-pop - but real music.
3. You are down to earth. You don't shout or act like wannabe tv-presenter with mental issues.
4. You don't use annoying special effects or movie clips every other second.
5. These videos are inspiring and actually helpful.
Don't change your style. In this time and age of the youtube, you are a positively different from everyone else - which means - you are normal. That's refreshing :)
All the best.
For not liking painting, your end result looks great.
Household items I have used for texture: dried coffee grounds, corn meal, baking soda. The salt will pull all of the water out of the mix quickly and swell. Some of these other items I mentioned will pull water too. But more slowly than the salt. If you need sand and don't have it, look around outside for sand or fine dirt. Also places like Dollar Tree and Wal-Mart keep bags of crushed white stone for decorative mini zen garden things. Crushed stone is basically fine sand made of a fancier colored stone.
Yeah the salt thing still has me baffled. But now I’m wondering how I could use that weird concoction in a craft! I’ll have to look for the zen garden stone, that might make for some interesting textures!
@@StorycraftSociety you were probably making something closer to salt dough(homemade playdoh). That stuff will dry out hard as a brick. But tends to crumble a bit. But if you seal it you can paint it and use it for some stuff. I have seen people make some convincing craters, volcanic terrain, and barren broken ground styles stuff with it. They spread it out thin where they want cracks to show and then let it dry. It will shrink and crack naturally on it's own. Then seal it. Then paint and detail it.
Not done watching, but I wanted to say your salt shaker is adorable
Next time you're "stuck" in a stucco situation like that, try if running cardboard and egg carton foam offcuts through a blender and making a paste with glue works for you.
After all, the result's basically a poor man's MDF that can be indented and sanded.
Another cool project. I know personally I save a TON of items from the trash for my crafting. Sometimes I get funny looks but I don't care it's worth it!
I love papier -mache! i was surprised how many builders use caulking and spackle instead of cheap-as-free papier mache!
I really enjoy your amazing talent, narration, mistakes, and humor.
Those discarded breakfast cereal boxes, are good to paint fantasy maps on. Very sturdy medium.
Now I'm going to be saving up more junk, wife looks at me like WTH! 😂
😂😂😂 sorry buddy.
Yep I already received “the talk” 😂
I use spent dryer sheets and PVA for a stucco texture. Dries faster than paper mache and upcycles dryer sheets. Just cut the piece you need and paste it on. You can top coat with more glue for a subtle texture or if it's a piece that's going to get handled a lot. Also, dryer sheets are great for tents, sails, banners and tarps. I've even use them to texture a $Tree toy I modified into a monster for my miniatures games.
Looks great. I am absolutely blown away by the fact that you have never in your life made paper mâché before this build.
Phrase I didn't expect "fill in the bird hole"😂. Cool build. Keep up the good work.
Baking soda , modge podge, water. Makes great stucco
Hey, I enjoyed the video. I wasn't going to comment until I saw your salt shaker. My family had the same correlle dish set. Turns out it is toxic with lead. That pattern has 13500 ppm lead, the max safe range for lead is 90 ppm.
I chose to throw out the dish set from my grandmother to protect my children.
Holy crap! For real!? Thank you!
NICE!!!! Really incredible! See you next time.
I have not played D&D for forty years, but saw your first birdhouse video last month, and have been fascinated with your builds ever since. I have subscribed, of course. I have been resisting making anything so far, but I think you’ve got me with this!
what you waiting for - jump in, this is by far the best hobby I've every had, make a bunch of cool toy err I mean terrain and then play fun fantasy games with all your nerd friends ... does life get any better, I think not!
8:42 where you show the support beams. The hole could be done as a round window with coloured glass. It could be the shag of an alchemist or mage ..
Great video! Filling in the bird hole, garbage to beautiful craft project, sick guitar montage... all it was missing was a "Dryyyy Time!". Seriously though, this turned out great and it would be nice to see some other crafts from trash.... Also, I enjoy Taco Bell too.
Love your style
I’ve been using the paper machete method for a while now but I use dollar store gift tissue paper. Fantastic job, sir
Ooh, you could get different colors so maybe you wouldn’t have to paint? Adding that to the experiment list
Preach Brother,
Craft and builders unite.
Building Gang.
I'm the same painting is my least favourite aspect of the hobby but agree looks amazing for the effort.
Love it dude.
Really cool. 👍
Nice adapted build. I need to remember to look for those birdhouses. :)
Wow! Looks cool!
Like your stuff. You are quickly becoming a favorite of mine. I do have a thought thought. You were close with the salt you just grabbed the wrong shaker. Pepper. still coarse and it shouldn't have the chemistry issue the glue has with the salt. Just my 2 bits.
Again enjoy your work!
PVA and baking soda is a great stucco mix btw. great vid tho, very cool
Love the results!!! 😊
Here are a couple other ideas. Cereal box cardboard can be textured as wood planks. Paper egg cartons on the textured side works well for stucco
"for this project I won't use xps foam" *proceeds to use an egg carton made of xps foam*
he meant the large sheets of insulation foam - not everyone has access to that. Everyone most places have access to egg cartons. Maybe dial down the pedantry a smidge?
This turned out awesome!
Thank you!
Beautiful diorama, Zane! Glad to see you back!
Look up salt dough christmas ornaments.
Salt???
LOL. That just sucks up all the moisture out of the PVA.
Baking soda and PVA is what we have always used, since (at least) the 70s. Brush on the PVA (or MP) and then sprinkle/pour on the baking soda. Shake excess on a sheet of paper, to capture excess to use later. And voila, now you have a concrete or stucco-ish texture.
Your intro says that you re-did this challenge because people complained about you using XPS foam and then you used XPS foam....
You did a great job but can't seem to do this without at least a little XPS. Oh well.
Keep up the good work. Your videos are generally excellent!!!
There's XPS foam from the home improvement store, and then there is upcycled XPS foam from food packaging. While similar, they can their own unique quirks when it comes to crafting.
Great build for the wallet and looks ace! I noticed 2 things though: Did you not make windows or did I just miss them? Same goes for the chimney
👍
Super cool. Is there a way to make it look like it has windows using the birdhouse?
I may be ahead of myself, but Dollar Tree Foamboard is ridiculously cheap and one sheet would go a long way.
Do you use this?
what no windows? :)
I haven't seen styrofoam egg cartons in this country for at least a decade, but there's always something equivalent no matter where we live... I just need to keep an eye out. Failing that, I'll probably get banned from all the local truckstops for stealing styro cups
What No windows
👍
