A fun filled DIY for Teacher’s Day, shapes of books made with clay moulded to perfection and stuck together to make the pile of the books to make a cute paper weight.

STEP 1 : Source the base material

We are going to make the paper weight for the teacher’s day using Mouldit. Take the corrugated sheet to make the pile of the books measuring approximately 2 ½” x 3 ½

STEP 2 : Prepare the dough / clay

Take Fevicryl Mouldit – resin base & hardener, mix well to form an even soft dough. Roll the dough to make the slab with a rolling pin.

STEP 3 : Shaping the books

Cover the corrugated sheets with Mouldit.

STEP 4 : Arrange the pile of books

Use clay carving tools or a paper cutter for ease and to show the pages of the books. Stick the books together with the help of Fabric Glue for sticking. Let it dry. Refer to the image.

STEP 5 : Paint the book piles

Paint the pile of the books with Fevicryl Acrylic Colours Burnt Sienna 01, Black 02, Chrome Yellow 03, Crimson 04, White 27, Greenery 67 and Teal Blue 68. Let it dry.

STEP 6 : Final touch

Take the lid of the Fevicol MR bottle to make the stationery holder and small spectacles with clay on the top of the book pile painted with Fevicryl Acrylic Colours Black 02 and Crimson 04. Let it dry. Your paper weight will look like this.
