Make Easier

Materials:

• Clay pots.
• Vases.
• Paints.
• Brushes.
• Ribbon.
• Tooth picks.
• Macaroni.
• Thread.
• Stencils.
• Plaster of Paris.
• Glitter.
• Spray paints (which are a wee bit costly).
• Clay pots and vases (you can even use the ones in your garden) and enamel paints and, if you need, dust (which comes in different colors such as silver, gold, bronze) etc.

Making:

Once you get hold of these things the options are endless. You can make miniature drawings on pots and colour them, do collage work, try the thread, stamp effect (which can be made by taking a long piece of thread rolling it in dust mixed with turpentine oil (mati ka tail) which can then be applied on to the pot), drip paint on the pot to create funky designs which is called the dripping effect, make the marble effect, decorate a cut work pot with laces and ribbons (which make excellent lamps), do stencil work on the vases and then fill them up with rice etc., make things out of Plaster of Paris and stick them on the pot with glue or you can even put some plain bajri mixed with paint onto it and sprinkled with glitter to give it a shimmering effect!!! You can even mix a lot of different effects together. (After all, it is about being creative)
