Design the Backdrop

On the corrugated sheet, draw a decorative, hut-shaped border for the backdrop. Mark the same dimensions on your fabric, as it will be used to cover the backdrop.

Cut Out The Base

Cut out the hut-shaped border you drew on the corrugated sheet. Paint it using Fevicryl Carnival Pack.

Prepare The Clay

Take equal quantities of the Fevicryl Mouldit resin and hardener. Mix them thoroughly until you make a soft dough

Construct The Doll's Body

Roll a portion of the Mouldit dough into a smooth ball for the doll's face. Insert a BBQ stick vertically and stick one horizontally for structure. Secure the joints with a little Fevicol MR.

Paint And Detail The Face

Once the clay has hardened, use fine paint brushes and the Fevicryl Acrylic Colours to paint the doll's face. Add her expressions, eyes, lips, and hair with detail.

Create The Doll's Outfit

Wrap the yellow gathered skirt around the doll's waist. Drape the red fabric as a chunni, sticking it over the head with Fevicol MR. Stick the ball chains as jewellery.

Assemble the Doll Hanging

Once your fully dressed and adorned doll is dry, cut a long piece of sturdy thread that and hang the doll to the triangular frame. Your Navratri Dance Doll is ready!
