Today I’ll be showing you how I made a witch’s house using a jar and polymer clay, partly inspired by Hagrid’s hut as it appears in Harry Potter and the Philisopher’s Stone. This is not a replica of the house, but I took inspiration from some elements of Hagrid’s hut like the fact it’s resting on rocks, the double columns by the entrance, the small windows, some colours (like the greyish-blue tint on the roof tiles), the wooden front steps and the pointy roof.
Elements that I left out where the shape of the roof, which in the original version is flatter on the bottom, the chimney (which is attached to the wall but I couldn’t add it unless I fixed the roof to the jar), the annex, and the straight sides of the house. If you can find a jar with the right number of straight sides, go ahead and use that! I didn’t want to alter the whole structure of the house because what was the point of using a jar then?
I was originally going to build a base for the house (so you couldn’t see through the bottom) with rocks and scenic moss but I decided not to so as not to take the focus away from the house and to allow the light to shine through the bottom as well.
Use an LED Tea light (battery operated) to light the house, not a regular candle.

✿ BAKING TIPS:
I bake my polymer clay pieces at 110ºC for no longer than 30 minutes at a time. (It can be baked for longer if the temperature remains constant)
I prebake them at the same temperature for 10-15 minutes depending on the size of my piece.
Always read the baking instructions for your particular brand of polymer clay, as temperatures and times may vary slightly.
