Hi Ara! You can recycle your old towels. Most animal rescue locations will take them especially if they are thick like the one you used for the roofing. ~Chellie~
Thank you! I meant I couldn't drop it into the recycle bin... but this is a great reminder for what you can do with old towels! I will make sure to pin it so if others are wanting to find something to do with their towels ;)
Mind QT That is a great suggestion, the thing is that Ara had an old towel and she repurposed it. It’s a good example of using what you have around the house to make something amazing. Here in Australia we are only allowed to shop for essentials, going to the hardware or craft shop are not essential and so we need to order on line.
This is what I do for our animal shelter, I make dog and cat beds. First of all I never throw out old pillows or cushions.
I cut two squares sew them on 3 sides, stuff with stuffing from old pillows sew the forth side and there you have a cosy dog or cat bed.
I know they are cosy because I make these for our dog, he loves them we have several around he house. We have a very spoilt pooch.☺️☺️🤣🤣😂😂
Okay now I just want to quit school and make dollhouses all the time. This is fabulous!
I'd love to see you fill this cottage with all sorts of things that fairytale characters, that have lived there over the years, have left behind!!
I think that because you really enjoy this cardboard house, you should continue it. As long as you enjoy it, the audience will too. :)
I love that this house is entirely made from recycled cardboard and a towel! These are things we all have access to. Please keep going, I really enjoy your ideas and creative solutions. xxx
Thank you! I am having fun getting creating with the household items ;)
I think the idea of eventually having a dragon on the roof is a great idea especially with the tumbled down tower, it makes me think that maybe the dragon was a pet that got too big and knocked the top off the tower by accident but the residents dont mind cause its easier use the tower to visit the dragon if there is no roof
😄😄👍
Wizard architect later made the Weasleys' cottage 😍
Perfectly amazing how a towel drapes comfortably into a thatched roof 💖. A dragon on the roof is always appropriate, and your Earth Dragon has its foot at a perfect angle.
Please continue with this project.
Please continue with this project. I’m learning so much and it’s so enjoyable to watch
PURPLE DRAGON.
This project screams Sword in the Stone. All I can think of is Madam Mim sleeping on the roof on a cloudy day, waiting to pester Merlin when he gets home...
That was my fav Disney movie growing up!
I would actually love to see a whole doll house made of recycled or upcycled items. ( when ara turns trash into gold) you do such beautiful work, with what's going on in the world.. I do look forward to your videos. This month I lost 3 people I care about, one from the virus. Keep up the beautiful work.
My condolences..very sad.
I’m so sorry for your loss.🙏🏼💔
I am so very sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you❤❤
Sorry to hear of your loss but I'm glad you can find things to cheer you a bit
Thank you SO much for these videos. I am an environmentalist who really wants to learn how to make miniatures and dollhouses, and the fact that you made this with so many recycled materials is so impressive. I am so inspired right now! Thank you again!!!
Never ever would I have thought to use an old towel for a thatched roof, bloody brilliant! I am definitely tucking that piece of knowledge away in my mental toolbox! Thanks Ara. This series must have been a real godsend for so many people during the lockdowns, keeping them sane with crafts they can do from things around the home. I'm loving it for sure.
This is just the sweet little fairy tale cottage!
I love it!
It needs a witch or two, dressed in old Welsh style costumes
Wales 🏴 has dragons on the flag, the dragons go perfect
Please continue this project! It's beautiful and you do sound very excited about it. I would love to see the interior completely decorated, theres so many cool little things a fantasy cottage might have!
Please continue with this. I would like to see it fairy like, maybe twig furniture! Thanks!
I love this project. It's whimsy is just what I'm looking for these days. Please continue working on it if you are so inspired. I would love to watch. I vote for the earth dragon. This just seems so much more a deep-in-the-woods type of cottage to me.
I would love to see you continue this project, it is so interesting to see what can be done with these types of materials. It reminds me of my childhood when my grandpa made me a cardboard doll house. It was far simpler than this but he also used recyclable materials or things that didn't have any other use, such as scrap fabric for curtains and carpet, wallpaper scraps, etc. It was one of my favourite things when I was little and so this project feels very nostalgic and lovely.
That sounds amazing! Thank you for sharing that wonderful memory with me!
I would love to see it fairy furnishings would be great ( a hanging bed, wicker hanging chair, bookcase with just Nature books, maybe a hidden book about OMG PEOPLE 😁) Whatever you decide will be a joy to watch!
Ara I love this project. Please continue. It's so much less serious than the normal dollhouse stuff. I'm currently pregnant and we are all going through these crazy times, it's nice to have a project where it feels ok to make mistakes and be a little silly. After all, it's only cardboard. And it feels a lot more like it's ok to use whatever you have around the house (a necessity under stay at home orders) instead of getting something exact. I think it is the perfect project for this time. And I LOVE the dragons! Please make some furniture and whimsical things you might find in a fairy tale house. This is downright cheerful!
I am so glad you are enjoying it Heather and its helping your creative side during this time. Take care of yourself my friend!!❤
It is getting more and more difficult to pick a favorite project that you create. Can't wait for the rest of it. Would love to see you use the Earth Dragon, he just seemed right at home.
😊😊❤
I love the way the earth dragon sits on the house. Please do more with the interior as well.
I love the idea of a seaside cottage with a sea dragon
I would LOVE to see more recyclable tutorials for this house! Also both dragons are really cute but I think I like the earth dragon better, they just look so comfy on there.
Love it all, and great idea with the dragon, here is a pitch. "It's a clumsy and harmless dragon that loves to travel and knows to land on that comfortable thatch roof to take a nap and has been using that broken tower as a landmark since many years ago it was the one who crashed into it" lol 😁 have an awesome week 😀😀😀👍👍👍
You're so incredibly talented, thanks so much for sharing! I love miniatures, and I can literally get lost in the little world!
This house is truly inspiring. You are so talented and fun to watch. I feel like I am imagining along with you. I have been saving cardboard boxes of all sizes and thickness to attempt one for myself. Please continue building the inside and furniture, I would love to see who lives here.
Can't believe how gorgeous it is ... and that sofa is so cute!!!
The Earth dragon, fits perfectly!
That thatched roof is freaking awesome!!! I was so impressed to see you using that towel. Who'd have thunk that's what it was!!!! How cool:)
The earth dragon looks perfect for that house!
Thank you so much for doing these videos. Being stuck inside and out of "traditional" materials, this is FABULOUS!!! XOXO PLEASE KEEP GOING!!!!!
Please, continue working on this house! It's SOOO beautiful! I think the earth dragon would fit perfectly on the roof! Some leaf inspired furniture would make this house even more magical!
I love this so much. I don't know how I ended up here, but I'm so glad I did. You make this look doable and fun!
I like the land dragon sleeping on the roof, and in side it a cottage that a wizard lives there. One room looks like his library, a norther could be where he make positions. I like to see it finished.
Brilliant, as usual!!! Love the towel into a thatch roof! And definitely a DRAGON! Either one - there's a DRAGON so I don't care - love them😃😃. Love it all, Ara - thanks again for sharing your amazing talent😊🤗💜💚🧡
Thank you!
I cant stop watching these videos!
The terry-thatched roof is brilliant! You are so very clever! Some how I missed that video............I guess I will have to binge watch ALL of your videos.......again...............
Haha George!! Enjoy ;)
I would love to keep going! If you want to. 😉
YES DRAGON(S)! I like the look of the earth dragon best.
I really enjoyed hearing the actual time it took you to complete the roof. That was VERY helpful.
I hope to add times in more in the future. I work so spiraticly sometimes though that I have no idea how much time it took lol!!
I would love to see you continue with this house! Homemade furniture and a little trap door for the tower would be wonderful additions. 😊
Also, either dragon would be awesome! It really brings a story element to the broken tower. 😍
I think so too! Thank you!
Furniture and dragon.. Yes!! Love it!
I love how your mind works; you are so creative! Perhaps a dragon on the roof whose tail has knocked over the top of the tower. Would love to see whimsical furniture made from curly willow or wall art made from moss. Whatever you create makes me smile.
Love the house keep um coming.... something out of nothing is perfect for the times we are living in.👍👍👍👍💕😍
Love it please continue with this project love to see your furniture project as well, the 2nd Dragon would look great and also a doll fairy that lives there ❤️👌
Always Yes to Dragons! Sea Dragon for sure. He look a little pouty very cute!
I think so too! Thank you!
This is amazing!! I love the whimsy and fantasy look of it. I would love to see you furnish it. Also putting the vines on. Its going to be adorable.
I'm excited about the next video - furniture! Meanwhile, I'm off to go glue cardboard together!
Happy gluing :)
I’m recently retired and I’m now rediscovering my love of miniatures. I love your RUclips channel, you are so creative and offer lots of great tips and ideas. Unfortunately now my head is filled with too many ideas. I love this idea of using the cardboard, I definitely have enough of that. Over the last two days I’ve watch your cardboard house/furniture projects and have an idea for my own cardboard project, just waiting for that perfect Amazon box to arrive. Ironically last night we watched the movie “Dave Made a Maze” on Prime. If you haven’t seen it you definitely need to check it out. It’s about a guy who builds a giant maze/labyrinth out of cardboard in his apartment then it takes on a life of it’s own. I told my husband hopefully that wouldn’t happen to me. Thank you for all your inspiration and keep up the good work!
this house needs a fantasy character that lives inside 😍
My mom and I love the house! I think that the good fairies, like in Sleeping Beauty, would be cute in this house. I would love to see furniture for the house.
Awesome job.
I would like to see the fashionable 'Twig' furniture! Lol. ♥️👍
Earth dragon for sure!!!!! I love this. It’s so nice to see things like this where we can definitely follow along especially in a time like this. Thank you. And it would be great if you kept working on it :) but as long as you want to.
OMG! I love this house, I had started my witches cottage about 3 years ago and stoped because I just didn't know what to do next. You gave me so many ideas with this video, so thank you so much, I'm going to go make cardboard flooring now! Thanks!
Whoo hoo! I am so glad you can continue with your project!!
Love it Ara, please keep going, would really enjoy seeing where your creativity takes you, and us as we go along for the ride!
This is an awesome video. I agree, the roof is genius. I love this whimsical creation. ♥
Towel is genius! Hahah twine would take forever!!! Now I'll have to try a towel hahah.
The roof and tower look amazing!!!!
I just love it so much - I can't wait to start my own project now.... And yes - a dragon on the roof would be perfect!
I love this project. The roof turned out great. And I love the idea of the earth dragon, as someone else mentioned, a outgrown house pet. Great job!
This is so great! I think the sea dragon would look awesome, and the tower could be a broken lighthouse tower :-). Maybe a sea witch or wizard could live inside and have cool furniture and decor.
MAGNIFIQUE ! Merci pour tes trucs ! 😁
💖💖🤗
I love your creations
And your different techniques. Thank you so much for sharing your ideas with us. I can't stop watching you create beautiful pieces of work.
Thank you so much!😊 That means a lot!
Love love!!!! Great job on the tower!! It came out darling!!!!
Yes dragon, and the earth one fits the theme 😁
Oh, and an earth dragon, to me, seems to fit better with the house. You have stone, wood and thatch for the house. It just seems like an earthy dragon would be just perfect.
You have surpassed yourself. It looks like a masterpiece design. I love the shapes and colour combinations. I love the flooring. The stairs are amazing. Wow.Please please please furnish the house. You have an incredible imagination. I can't wait to see how you fill the rooms. I have no suggestions. You've got it all.
Yes please continue, I love this project. And I think the earth dragon looked liked it really belonged they way it was laying. Also the tower looks awesome now :) keep on crafting
Please keep going this house is amazing
I would love for you to continue and finish the house as it’s really beautiful,and would look lost without it’s furniture..I loved the settee you made for the house already 😀
Wow that is so much work, it looks amazing. That broken tower looks awesome
Thank you! I enjoyed your blind folded bee drawing the other day ;)
I've been watching your videos since I first came across them a week or two ago; it's amazing what you come up with! I am learning all kinds of things watching these. My favorites so far are the way you did the thatched roof, and how you used pins and magnets to close a miniature stove.
Once again, Ara, you have inspired me for my project. The STAIRS are exactly what I had in mind, YIPPEE!
Awesome!
Yet again, another brilliant video. Thank you. X
Yessss, continue the house, please! I hope to make one in the future, and this is the perfect tutorial :)
I love this house! I appreciate the way you reuse so many things. I think the house needs some fairies and a fairy queen. The dragon is too heavy for such a whimsical house.
Omg this is absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!! You r sooo talented!!!!
This looks incredible, please do more, I'm lovin it. The dragon will be awesome!
I absolutely love your videos!!! Thank you for so much inspiration! I used to make doll houses for the kids in the family. They loved them. I made one for my daughter when she was nine. It got distroyed when she was sixteen, and she cried about it for months. So I'm building one for her daughter. At least I know that she will definitely love it.
Wow! IT turned out great! love the dragons. either one would be awesome!
I love this. The earth dragon physically fit better, but I like the idea of the sea dragon better. I’m so inspired to start creating my own house, last thing I need is more projects though.
Thank you Jacob! Go for it and happy building!
I love it - please show some interior additions and furniture. Can't wait to see the next video. Stay safe.
This is beautifully done !! How fun! I love watching your process 💕🥰
I love this house ! I hope you continue with the house . You inspired me so much with this video . Thank you for sharing .
Please keep going... We learn so much from you... Once again thank you.
Thank you, I will 😉
You inspired me last week. My granddaughters were staying with me and we started making a cardboard fairy tree house. They will be here tonight and we can do some painting tonight... thanks for the videos?
That's awesome! I have heard so many people say they are starting a cardboard house as a family project! I am loving it!!
Keep going...live watching you create!
I think you should keep going, give it a story like the abandoned coffee shop, you are very creative, well done
Great idea! I am starting to think of story ideas :)
Yes, please keep going! Honestly, I'd love to see where your creativity takes you until it's completely furnished, etc. Your workflow and thinking seem different (yet similar) to your other work and it's so interesting to get to follow along with you on your journey. I have to admit that during these trying times, the more relaxed approach allowed by the materials is very soothing too. What I think could be really interesting is to see how you tackle the interior in light of what you've said about the foundations - the ease with which you can explore whimsical and wonky shapes and ratios. Of course, you should only do the project if it gives you enjoyment from start to finish, but there is something so incredibly beautiful about using ''trash'' to create art. In other words - this is an amazing, beautiful project and if you decide to furnish and decorate all of the insides with recyclables, we'd be very fortunate to be allowed to join you.
I think you are so right! There is something freeing about just creating without too much restraint and "perfection". I am enjoying it a lot and will be back working on it after the live stream this week ;)
This, is INSANE! I love it!
This was a really fun project! I loved watching both videos. Such great ideas.
This is awesome... Thank you so very much. You are AWESOME!!
Thank you Lyndy!
Just delightful! I can picture either dragon, really. I can also picture matching fairies (earthy flowery fairies for the earth dragon or mermaid-themed fairies with sea-oriented dragon) in a whimsical and magical interior (throwing scale to the wind LOL). This is probably something your daughter might claim and (not to give her ideas) might even want a whole village! (You'll need to build her a she-shed in the back yard.)
I love the picture you're painting here! She is not super interested in it now... but adding the furniture might changed that lol!!
The towel thatch roof is genius!
It looks great and it's such a cool project!! I'd love for you to keep working on it if you'd like to, having it be only recycled materials is so accessible and fun
I love this house! My vote is for the earth dragon. I think that one fits better. Thanks for sharing!
That's so cute! I would love more recycled house videos, maybe an easier version I could follow for my kids 😁
Thank you for the feedback! I hope to do more in the future!
That roof is really creative. I'm looking up the other video now. The tower looks fantastic
Glad you like it! Thank you!
Keep going please, this is one of the most amazing things I've seen, I love it so much!!
Amazing like all your projects. Please keep going with the project. Thank you so much for sharing
You are such an amazing artist.
You can be an architect.
