 Make you own little kanha this Janamastmi with Fevicryl Mouldit. It can be so much fun when you mould and create something so cute and beautiful!

STEP 1 : Mixing Fevicryl Mouldit
• We are going to make a Krishna idol with Mouldit. • You will need 2 to 3 Mouldit packets to make the idol. • Take the Mouldit resin base and hardener; mix it thoroughly to make even dough.
STEP 2 : Making the base
• Take some dough, roll it to make a medium thick slab with a rolling pin for the base on which we will place the idol. • Let it get semi dry. • Create the texture on the edges of the slab with clay carving tools.
STEP 3 : Making the pot
• Take some clay to make the pot of the white butter and the base of the pot. • Use the pinching technique and the rear side of the brush to make the pot and make simple coil to the base of the pot. • Keep it aside for drying.
STEP 4 : Making the idol
• We are going to make the figure of the Krishna in sitting pose eating butter. • Take some clay to build the figure, the head, the hair the crown, the peacock feather and the jewellery with the help of the clay carving tools and Fabric Glue to stick it appropriately. Let it dry completely. • Take the base, the pot and the clay idol of the Krishna. • Stick the pot and the idol on the base with Fabric Glue. • Take some clay. Make the hands of the idol and attach it to the body with Fabric Glue. • Make sure that you will make the hands in the last step to show that the Krishna is removing the butter from the pot. Leave it to dry completely. • Your clay idol will look like this.
STEP 5 : Painting the idol
