How cool it will be to make our own traditional jewelry especially now when the price of gold is sky rocketing! Here we have done just that, made a gorgeous thusi from Fevicrly Mouldit. Learn how to make one for yourself too.

STEP 1 : Mixing Mouldit for the design

• We are going to make the Traditional Maharashtrian jewellery called Thusi on Gudi Padwa using Mouldit and Paper canvas. • Take a piece paper canvas. • Draw the basic design on it. Cut it in shape. • Take Mouldit resin base and hardener, mix it thoroughly to make even dough.

STEP 2 : Roll the dough

• Take the dough, roll it to make a medium thin slab with rolling pin.

STEP 3 : Cut the shape

• Mark and cut a zig- zag shape out of it. • Refer to the image.

STEP 4 : Stick the shapes on base.

• Place and stick the shapes evenly using Fabric Glue on the base. • Let it dry completely.

STEP 5 : Base is ready

• Your neck piece will look like this on this stage.

STEP 6 : Painting the necklace

• Paint the Thusi Necklace with Antique Gold effect using Acrylic Colours Black 02 and Pearl Metallic Gold 352. • Let it dry completely.

STEP 7 : Finishing of the necklace

• Take some clay to make the round shape beads. • Let it dry completely. • Paint the clay beads with similar antique gold look using Acrylic Colours Black 02 and Pearl Metallic Gold 352. Let it dry. • Take the ball chain, red, green ornamental stones and clay beads. • Stick the stones in the centre of the necklace and bordered the necklace with ball chain and clay beads using Fabric Glue. Let it dry. • Refer to the image.

STEP 8 : Assembly

• Attach the jewelry attachment, readymade beaded cord with tassel aesthetically towards the end. • Your Thusi necklace will look like this.
