Step- by- Step Process

Step 1 Preparing the Pot

First, I cleaned the clay pot and made assured the exterior was droughty. Then I startled pasting the slim mirror pieces one by one. I arranged them in arbitrary designs to form it more cultural. Once all the mirror fragments were bound, I commemorated the pot apart for drying.

Step 2 Making the Musiac Paste

In a bowl, I appended wall putty / white cement ( ½ mug), 4 tablespoons of white glue, and sluggishly mixed in water until it came a thick paste. To make it more lively, I added a many drops of blue color. The paste looked delicate and was easy to apply.

Step 3 Applying the Paste

With the help of a spatula( and occasionally using my hands for texture), I applied the paste each over the pot, precisely spreading it between the mirror pieces. I made sure the paste was unevenly concentrated. After around 5 minutes, I wiped off the redundant adhesive from the outside of the mirrors with a fabric so they would radiate easily.

Step 4 Drying and Finishing

I left the pot for about 5 hours until it dried fully. On the top border of the pot, I painted with a blend of Red colour, which I allowed
gave a stimulating and soft combination.

Step 5 Final Touch

Eventually, I arranged some artificial flowers in my musiac pot. Believe me, when the sunshine touched the glass pieces, the pot looked truly stunning and added brilliance to my room. I also write my username and date of the post for verification.
