Pista nut Peacock

This is the picture of the Pista Nut Shell Peacock I made a few years ago.

Its very easy to make. These are the things you will need-

1. Pista nut shells or any hard shells

2. Thermocole or cardboard sheet.

3. Glue

4. Paints.

First trace the picture you want to make on the thermocole sheet.

Then paste the shells on the sheet. The pista shells will have salt on them. So it must be washed and dried.

After the glue dries, its time to paint the picture.

You can use any type of paint- Fabric, glass, acrylic, sparkles...

You can also decorate your paintings with beads or sequiences or glass pieces. I put beads for the peacock's crown.

After the painting is done you can put some polish on it to give it a glow and protection.

Then for further protection you can frame it.

Hope you will try it and let me know when you finish.
