Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1

We are going to make wall decor for the Ganesh Festival using waste material and Mouldit.
Take a wooden plank as the base, measuring 4” x 12”.
Paint the plank with a base coat of Fevicryl Acrylic Colour White 27. Let it dry.
Pierce two holes on the top side of the plank for hanging.

Step 2

Take the floral stencil and place it on the plank.
Pour Fevicryl 3D Outliner Blue 702 over the stencil and drag it using a thick card to create an embossed effect. Let it dry.

Step 3

Paint the stenciled plank with Fevicryl Acrylic Colours Prussian Blue 19, White 27, and Cerulean Blue 32. Let it dry.

Step 4

We will make the asana (seat) for the idol using a scrap soap dispenser bottle.
Take a plastic bottle with a flat bottom from the waste.

Step 5

Mix Mouldit resin and hardener to create an even dough.
Roll the dough into a medium-thin slab using a rolling pin.
Cover the plastic bottle with the slab using Fevicryl Fabric Glue.
Use clay carving tools to create a design on the bottle.
Use the clay to build a flower design on the base of the bottle. Let it dry.

Step 6

Take the MDF flower cut-out (or create a flower with Mouldit).
Paint the flower in a similar shade to the plank.
Stick the MDF flower on the top side of the plank and the bottle towards the bottom side using clay and Fabric Glue. Let it dry.

Step 7

Create small flowers with clay and paint them with Fevicryl Acrylic Colours Pearl Metallic Gold and Black 02. Let them dry.
Stick the flower in the centre of the MDF flower cut-out with fabric glue. Let it dry.
Place a metal idol (e.g., Ganesha idol) on the bottle base to decorate your wall. Refer to the image.
Your plank with an idol is ready.
