Step 1:

I have used Fevicryl mouldit clay to make essence stick holder. Fevicryl Mouldit clay is used to mould and create shapes and 3D works of all art like wall hangings, vases, murals, etc. Get the malleability of clay coupled with the binding strength of epoxy resin with Fevicryl Mouldit.

Fevicryl Mouldit clay.

• Fevicryl Mouldit clay is used to mould and create shapes and 3D works of all art like wall hangings, decorative things and highly use in craft projects etc.
• Strong Resin Base – Fevicryl Mouldit comes with a strong art resin epoxy mould base & hardener, which need to be mixed together to get a solid solution. By mixing them together, it’s easier to mould the product to your liking.
• Make Many Artworks – This versatile DIY craft material is ideal for doing projects that range from tiny jewelry to large murals, making it a great product for aspiring and professional artists.

• Ideal Dry time – The drying time is 90 minutes which is perfect for any aspiring artist as it becomes easier to work with for both professionals and beginners.

Step 2:

Read the instructions mentioned on the pack properly before kneading the dough. Take both packs from fevicryl mouldit, Resin Base and Hardener. Mix them to form even dough. Care should be taken to avoid mixing the Resin Base and Hardener in unequal proportions, as it will result in improper curing and hardening. Apply oil on your hands before kneading the dough. Once your dough is ready, take a small portion of dough and roll it between your palms to form different shapes as per your choice.

Step 3:

Once your Fevicryl mouldit clay dough is ready, take a small portion of dough and roll it between your palms to form different shapes as per your choice. Before you start rolling clay on the floor, apply powder on the floor to avoid sticking. Use knife tool to cut the clay and make leaf shape from it.

Step 4:

Make a flower with the same procedure. Make small balls of clay, flatten them with your fingers and fix them on the leaf to make flower. Before the flower dries of make a hole in the centre of the flower using essence stick so that you can fix essence stick on it once your craft is ready.

Step 5:

Let the essence stick holder dry completely. It will take almost 90 minutes to dry.

Step 6:

You can start coloring once it dries. Use acrylic paints for coloring. Apply 2 to 3 coats of acrylic paint, let it dry completely.

Essence stick holder is ready for use. Beautiful leaf shape makes it a perfect addition to a temple, side table or anywhere you want to enjoy the delightful aroma and it’s completely safe to burn essence stick on it.

I have posted some articles on the handmade gift ideas that you can give to your friends or family on any special occasion or festival. If you are looking for Shubha labha door hanging or decorative door torans, then you must read my articles.

Best craft to be made in the season of festival is the Shubha Labha wall sticker. I made a very ethnic and attractive Shubha Labha door hanging to add ethnic flavor to my sweet home. The auspicious words Shubha Labha is a traditional sign that stands for a warm welcome which gives charm to your guests when you place it at the entrance of your sweet home. This would be the great idea of gifting on house warming.

“Main door of the house should be decorated in such a way that it ushers in positive energy.”

Everything of your home is connected to main door because it is the place through all the good energy enters your home. The availability of ample air, plentiful light, and most importantly, hygienic environment is essential. But why should you decorate the front door? It’s important because the decoration of your door may affect your health, happiness, wealth, energy, and prosperity.
