Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1

Paint the first coat of Fevicryl Acrylic Colour Black 02.
When the colour is semi-dry, wipe it off with a rough rag to create a rustic effect.

Step 2

We are going to make wall decor with small idols of Ashtavinayaks for the Ganesha festival to place on the wall beside the main Ganesha idol.
Take Mouldit resin base and hardener, mix well to create small idols of the famous 8 Vinayakas from the Maharashtra region using clay modelling tools and fabric glue.
Let the idols dry completely.

Step 3

Paint the final coat using Fevicryl Acrylic Colours Burnt Sienna 01, Crimson 04, Dark Brown 05, Orange 17, White 27, and Neon Orange 017 to depict the actual idols.
Let the paint dry completely.

Step 4

We will stick these 2D idols onto jute fabric.
Take jute with plastic coating on the rear side. Mark and cut the band measuring 5” x 14” in size, cutting one end of the jute band into a conical shape.
Create borders on the jute band with a Mouldit slab, engraving the design using clay modelling tools and fabric glue.
Pierce a hole at the top side of the jute band to attach the cord.

Step 5

Paint the crowns of some idols with Fevicryl Acrylic Colour Pearl Metallic Gold 352. Let it dry.
Attach and stick the Ganesha idols on the jute band using fabric glue. Let it dry.
Attach the wool at the top and the metal bell with a bead at the conical edge. Refer to the image.
Your Ashtavinayak wall decor is now ready to be displayed.
