Description :

Create a beautiful Ganesha nameplate using MDF, clay, and pastel acrylic colours, perfect for adding a personalized touch to your home décor.

STEP 1 : Procure the Base

Start with a plain MDF plank measuring 5” x 12” in size.

STEP 2 : Paint the base coat

Paint the plank with a base coat of Acrylic Colour White 27, followed by a second coat using pastel colours (Peach, Pink, and Lavender) for a shaded effect. Let it dry completely.

STEP 3

On A4 white paper, draw a jali (lattice) design that fits the size of the plank.

Trace this design onto the plank using yellow carbon paper.

STEP 4 : Prepare the Clay Ganesha

Mix Mouldit resin base and hardener to create an even dough.

Shape the dough into a round disk representing Ganesha using clay modelling tools and stick it onto the plank with Fabric Glue.

Use steel wool to create texture on the Ganesha disk. Let it dry.

STEP 5 : Paint the Ganesha

Paint the Ganesha disk with an antique gold effect using Acrylic Colours Black 02 and Pearl Metallic Gold 352.

Allow it to dry completely.

STEP 6 : Finishing Touches

Roll some clay into a thick coil and shape it into the letters of your surname.

Add texture using steel wool.

Attach the letters and the Ganesha disk to the plank with Fabric Glue. Let it dry.

STEP 7 : Final Look

Attach a metal hook to the rear side of the plank using a small amount of clay and Fabric Glue.

Your Ganesha nameplate is now ready to display!
