Description :

Create a unique fruit bowl using Mouldit clay and Fevicryl Acrylic Colours. This project combines clay modelling and texture engraving to craft a beautiful and functional home decor piece.

STEP 1 : Prepare the Clay and Make Impressions
  • We are going to make a fruit bowl using engraved Mouldit strips.
  • Mix Fevicryl Mouldit resin base and hardener to make an even dough.
  • Roll the dough into a medium-thin slab using a rolling pin.
  • Mark and cut 1” broad strips from the slab.
  • Use clay modelling tools to create and engrave various textures on the strips.
STEP 2 : Build the Bowl Shape
  • Take a plastic or ceramic bowl and apply talcum powder on its rear side.
  • Place the engraved strips on the bowl, overlapping them slightly and using Fabric Glue at regular intervals to secure them together.
  • Cover the entire bowl in this manner to form a mold.
  • Attach one plain strip vertically to make it more sturdy using Fabric Glue. Let it dry.
STEP 3 : Finishing Touches
  • Pierce two holes on the last strip on opposite sides to attach the handle. Refer to the image.
STEP 4 : Paint the First Coat
  • Paint the bowl with a base coat of Fevicryl Acrylic Colour Black 02.
  • When the colour is semi-dry, wipe it with a rough rag. Let it dry.
STEP 5 : Paint the Final Coat
  • Paint the bowl with Fevicryl Acrylic Colours Indian Red 10 and Orange 17 for the final coat. Let it dry.
STEP 6 : Final Touches and Final Look
  • Take a wooden embroidery ring measuring 6” to 7” in diameter or use wooden handles if available.
  • Cut the ring in half and attach the pieces to the bowl using black cord.
