Description :

Transform a plain thali into a stunning piece of art perfect for festive occasions or as a unique home decor item. This project combines the textures of Fevicryl Mouldit with a vibrant, hand-painted design, resulting in a beautiful and personalized decorative piece that is sure to be admired.

STEP 1 : Paint the Base

Start with a clean, plain thali. Paint the entire surface with Fevicryl Acrylic Colour Black 02.
This dark base will make your vibrant colours and clay work pop!
Let the paint dry completely.

STEP 2 : Sketch Your Design

Once the black paint is dry, use a pencil and tracing paper to carefully sketch your desired design in the center of the thali.

STEP 3 : Sculpt the Clay

Take your Fevicryl Mouldit, mix the resin and hardener well to make a smooth dough.
On a flat surface, use your clay modelling tools to create different shapes according to your design.
Let the shapes semi-dry so they are firm but still easy to handle.

STEP 4 : Attach the Clay Shapes

With Fevicryl Fabric Glue, carefully stick the semi-dry clay shapes onto the traced design on the thali.
Press them down gently to ensure they are secure and let everything dry completely.

STEP 5 : Begin the paint

Using vibrant colours like Fevicryl Acrylic Colours Teal Blue, Crimson, Turquoise Blue, Orange, White, Chrome Yellow, and Deep Brilliant Purple, begin to paint your design.
Let it dry.

STEP 6 : Paint the Details

Fill in the different sections, adding shading and details to make the art vibrant and dynamic.

STEP 7 : Add the finishing touches

Once the first coat of paint is dry, apply a second coat to make the colours look fuller and opaque.
Pay close attention to all the details, ensuring every section is perfectly finished.

STEP 8 : Final Look

Your beautifully handcrafted and painted thali is now ready to be displayed as a festive decoration or a unique art piece.
