Description :

Create a beautiful, handcrafted lotus-shaped tray perfect for a Haldi ceremony during the wedding season. This project uses Fevicryl Mouldit to sculpt delicate lotus petals and combine them with vibrant, hand-painted MDF coasters, all arranged to hold a bowl of haldi in the center.

STEP 1 : Procure the base

Let us build a Haldi Ceremony Lotus Tray.
Take a circular MDF Board for the base.

STEP 2 : Sculpt the Petals

Take your Fevicryl Mouldit, mix the resin and hardener well to make a smooth dough.
On a flat slab, roll out the dough to make it even thicker.
With your clay modelling tools, cut out thin, elongated leaf shapes for the lotus petals.

STEP 3 : Build the Lotus Base

Take a large circular MDF board.
Using Fevicryl Fabric Glue, stick to the edges of the clay leaf shapes around the border of the board.

STEP 4 : Layer the base

Place another circular MDF board of the same size on top to hold the petals in place while they dry.
Add more clay leaves between the first set of petals to make the lotus look fuller and more complete.

STEP 5 : Paint the Bases

Once the lotus base is dry, paint the entire base, including the clay petals and the bottom MDF board, with Fevicryl Acrylic Colour White 27.
Paint your smaller circular MDF board with the same white base coat.
Let everything dry completely.

STEP 6 : Paint the base

Now, take your smaller MDF board and paint a design on it using Fevicryl Acrylic Colour White 27.

STEP 7 : Paint the design

Pick Fevicryl Acrylic Colour Red and Yellow to paint the design on the mini MDF coaster.
Let it dry.

STEP 8 : Scribble the word down

On the other MDF board (the one you used to help shape the petals), use a pencil and tracing paper to trace words or a design before painting it with a mix of red, yellow, and green.

STEP 9 : Assemble the Tray

Once all the painted pieces are dry, place the two decorated MDF boards between the petals of your lotus base.
In the center, place a small, transparent bowl.

STEP 10 : Final Look

Your beautiful, handmade lotus tray is now ready for the Haldi function, serving as a stunning centerpiece!
