this is also a best out of waste project

materials required

• a plastic bottle wih even surface- i used a tennis ball bottle,
• a box cutter
• fevicol glue
• shilpakar modelling clay
• a scale
• acrylic colors- white,yellow,brown,green,red ,acrylic pearl colors- blue
• needle
• ball pen
• scissors
• iron box to mould the bottle mouth
• talcum powder to dust hands so that the clay doesn't stick to your hand and you also get smooth surface

shilpakar is a fast drying clay,so work quickly,it has 2 packs inside ,mix equal proportions as required,seperately they are fine,but once mixed the clay dries quickly ,mix the two components very well for a good finish

you can also use air drying clay

I have used my nails to give the clay covering that texture,you can give any texture you want.

for the sun flower petals you need to flatten the cone with the scale and use needle to create the impressions,once the petals are arranged make a clay ball and stick in the centre ,give it shape of the sunflower center ,i have used ball pen nib to make those dot impressions 

for the other flower make a mushroom then flatten the top, it looks like an umbrella ,cut petals using scissors, cut the bottum and stick,shape the petals as desired,the little roundle you see in the video is the base for the yellow flower,the impression is created using ball pen bottom

Art is just free creativity , play with your imagination and give it our own touch

use a coat of clear synthetic varnish once the project is colored and dried for longer life of the piece,
