Paint the Base Coat

Paint each bottle cap using white acrylic paint from the Fevicryl Carnival Pack, as a base. For the sun, paint a larger container cap with white colour. Let them dry completely before adding colours.

Paint the Planets

Using Fevicryl Carnival Pack colours, paint each cap to match the planets. Allow all the painted caps to dry properly.

Prepare the Background

Take a black chart paper and paint the dotted orbit lines. Next, dip a toothbrush in white and blue paint and spray it gently to create a star effect. Tip: Keep the toothbrush slightly away to make the stars look smaller.

Make the Labels

Write the names of the planets on small paper strips. Cut them neatly to use as labels.

Arrange the Planets

Place the painted caps in order starting from the Sun. Adjust the spacing before sticking. For Saturn, you can paint the rings around the cap.

Stick and Finish

Put a Fevicol Glue Drop at the back of each cap and stick it onto the chart paper. Stick the labels neatly next to each planet to complete the project.
