Prepare the Clay

Take equal quantities of the Fevicryl Mouldit resin and hardener. Mix them thoroughly on a smooth surface until you form a uniform, pliable white dough with no streaks.

Cover the Cup

Take a flattened sheet of Fevicryl Mouldit Clay and carefully wrap it around the entire outer surface of the paper cup. Apply Fevicol MR to the cup to stick the clay well.

Create The Front Pocket

Cut a semi-circular clay piece and gently press it onto the front of the clay-covered cup, sticking only the curved edge to form a pocket-like structure. Let it dry.

Prepare The Message Strips

Take the yellow-coloured paper strips. Write down a wonderful quality about your father, such as ‘Loving, Amazing, Supportive,’ etc.

Add The details

Paint the cup and holder yellow and red, write “Dad, You Are…” on a white strip, and once dry, fix a magnet at the back using Fevicol MR.
