Step –1

Procure the base - Take a Terracotta Platter for the base. You can pick a new or an old one as per your availability.

Step –2

Prepare Clay Elements - Mix Fevicryl Mouldit resin and hardener equally to form an even dough. Roll it flat with a rolling pin.

Step –3

Cover the bowls - Use this clay to cover two small tin bowls, then carefully remove the clay to create bowl-shaped structures.

Step- 4

Shape the sticks - Also, use Mouldit to shape several pieces into sticks resembling small wooden logs. Let it dry.

Step –5

Paint the materials - Take Fevicryl Acrylic Colours and paint the terracotta platter, the moulded clay bowls, and the clay sticks (logs). Use shades like Black, Burnt Sienna, and Crimson Red to paint the materials. Allow all painted pieces to dry completely.

Step -6

Assemble Logs - Once the painted clay logs are dry, gather them and tie them together with a woolen chord to form a small, cohesive bundle of wood. You can also stick the wooden logs with Fevicol MR on top with each other to keep them intact.

Step –7

Outline & Detail - Using Fevicryl Acrylic White colour and a thin brush, paint outlines or intricate designs on both the terracotta platter and the clay bowls. This adds definition and artistic detail to your pieces. Carefully place the decorated clay bowls on the platter alongside the logs. Your Holi fire bowl display is now complete and ready for celebration.
