Prepare Your Clay

Take the Fevicryl Mouldit resin base and hardener. Mix them together thoroughly until you form a smooth, even, and non-sticky white dough.

Shape Your Figure

Divide the dough into a few pieces. Shape one piece into a broad, flat base. Shape the other pieces into smaller, rounded forms for the body and head of your figure.

Stack the clay

Using Fevicol MR, stick the smaller shapes on top of the broad base to build your figure.

Add the Hook

While the clay is still soft, take the small steel hook and firmly insert it into the top part of your figure. This can be used to hold small items. Let the entire clay model dry completely.

Paint Your Creation

Use your favourite vibrant shades of Fevicryl Acrylic Colours to bring your figure to life. You can add a face, clothes, and fun patterns. Allow the paint to dry.

Final Look

Create small message cards from paper. Write special notes, gently slide them into the slit you created. Your thoughtful, handmade gift is now ready!
