Draw and Cut the Designs
Draw all the designs you want for your toran like circles, leaf, rocket,lotus etc on corrugated sheet. Cut out each corrugated sheet template neatly along the outlines. Keep all the festive shapes ready to use as moulding guides.
Prepare the Clay Pieces
Mix the resin and hardener of Fevicryl Mouldit until the colour is uniform. Roll the clay evenly and press the corrugated templates onto it before cutting out all the festive shapes. Make holes at the top of each piece for threading later.
Add the Details
Use simple clay tools or a pointed tool to carve petals, leaf veins, diya patterns, lettering and decorative borders on each Fevicryl Mouldit piece. Allow all the ornaments to dry completely.
Paint the Ornaments
Paint every dried ornament with colours from the Fevicryl Carnival Pack. Add colourful festive details and then leave the pieces aside to dry thoroughly.
Assemble the Toran
Thread the painted ornaments, wooden beads and wool tassels onto the jute twine in the desired arrangement.
Display Your Decoration
Tie secure knots between the ornaments to hold them in place and trim the excess twine if required.
