How to make jharokha wall decor from Cardboard?

Materials you'll need: 

• Cardboard box (take any of television, microwave, or refrigerator cardboard packaging box)
• Acrylic colours
• Fevicryl Mouldit clay
• Glue
• Clay cutters
• Talcum powder
• Varnish
• Gesso
• Memorable photo/Idol picture/mirror to display on jharokha 
• Scissor
• Pencil, scale, and eraser

Methods to proceed:

• Draw the jharokha on a cardboard box and cut them off using a scissor.

Make a cardboard box with a frame thickness of 2 inches by drawing dimensions of 21 cm in length and 30 cm in height. One sheet of jharokha will be used for the frame, and the other will serve as the base. In addition to that, you can accomplish the same thing by making use of the jharokha stencil.

• Adorn the jharokha frame using Fevicryl Mouldit clay.

Getting a smooth finish on mouldit art is as simple as mixing the resin and hardener in a 1:1 ratio. Talcum powder can help you effortlessly smooth out the clay. Now, using a clay cutter, begin forming the clay into the shapes of flowers and petal parts of flowers. In addition, make the tiny balls out of clay so that you can add the touch of miniature details to the clay art.

Note: There is a mandatory number of flowers to make out of clay. You are free to make as many as you want to fill the outer jharokha frame.

• Stick the clay art on the jharokha frame and prime the bases thoroughly with white Gesso.

Attach them to the jharokha outer frame cutout with Fevicol now, before the clay hardens. It's important to give the clay plenty of time to dry on the frame. Put a coat of white Gesso on the frame and the jharokha-supported base. You will end up with an even and smooth surface, perfect for creating smooth artwork.

• Start painting the acrylic colours on the jharokha cutouts

After the Gesso has had enough time to dry, you can begin painting the jharokha cutout bases with the emerald green color. Carry on painting the clay flowers in a pastel pink color, using a light green color for the leaves, and a brown color for the miniature balls. You can give the painting more value by working on the white brush strokes that are located underneath the pink flowers.

• Varnish the base thoroughly 

Allow everything to completely dry out. Finally, varnish the base thoroughly to get breathtaking results. It will not only remove the colors' stickiness but will also add a glossy finishing to the base.

• Fix everything together 

Apply glue to the back of the memorable photo, idol picture, or mirror, and then secure it to the outside of the jharokha frame. After that, adhere the frame all the way to the supporting base of the jharokha. In the end, attach the jute string to the back of the cardboard jharokha so that you can easily mount them on the walls. You will receive sturdy and long-lasting jharokha wall hanging art that is the perfect complement to your stylish interior design.
