This fireplace is based on a combination of tutorials from JS Miniatures and Manual 'the Handyman', to which I've added my own idea's here and there :)
Like the bricks from egg carton I'd made, instead of brick like wallpaper. Underneath is a layer of grey acryl structure paint.
 |
| I worked on the back and the sides pieces at the same time, so the rows would be level. |
 |
| My ruler acted as a mason's line; a guide for setting bricks in perfectly straight rows :) |
 |
| I cut the sides that would be glued to the back at a 45-degrees angle. |
 |
| Because the top part will be placed a bit downward, I did the layers of bricks on the side parts upwards in the same angle. |

 |
| Back and side panel glued in place. Also remembered the wires for the campfire in time :) |
 |
| In the meantime I'd painted some thin card board (from a pizza box ^^) with Gesso and gave it a little bit of structure with a scourer. Once everything had dried I glued the beams to it. |
 |
| Testing if everything - ceiling, beams and fireplace would fit. |
 |
| Well, barely, and very carefully, but it did :) |
 |
| Of course I should have put the wires throught the opening in the wall first (a) |
 |
| Testing the fire obviously required a chair :) |
 |
| And even Harry couldn't resist it. It already reminded him a bit of the Burrow, he told me ;) I'm in a very happy place atm <3 |
