We are going to make the pooja thali for the festival of Navaratri inspired from the traditional Lippan art using an old melamine plate, Mouldit, mirrors, ball chain and stones. Take a used melamine plate to upcycle.

Paint the base coat of Fevicryl Acrylic Colour White 27 by adding some talcum powder in the colour. Let it dry.

Stick the big mirror in the centre of the plate with fabric Glue. Let it dry.

Take Fevicryl Mouldit – resin base & hardener, mix well to form an even soft dough. Take some clay, roll it to make a slab, cut a ring and place it in the center of the plate around the mirror and stick it with Fabric Glue. Create impression on the clay with clay carving tools. Stick and build the mandala design using silver ball chain and white ornamental stones with Fabric Glue. Let it dry. Refer to the image.

Build the mandala design gradually using rings of clay, ball chain, mirrors and stones with the help of the clay carving tools and Fabric Glue. Let it dry.

Your mandala design on the plate will look like this. Refer to the image.

Your final plate with the pooja accessories will look like this. Refer to the image.
