[Music] Both these bottles are empty, fill them up, Both these bottles are empty, fill them up, give me a minute. [Music] I was about to throw these bottles away, but
suddenly I thought, what harm am I about to do? Because suddenly I got this idea that I can make something very beautiful and cute using these. And if you have a bottle like this, or if not, any kind of
bottle, then you can use that to make today's dish. So, quickly get started. Now the problem is that I have collected a lot of bottles
of different shapes. And I also have a kulhar, so I can't understand which bottle I should use. Although I have made such crafts before, but whenever I make something new, I always get confused. So
finally, I will use this bottle because I think its shape is quite chubby, so it will look better.  There were so many options available, but you can use any bottle you have. No worries.
First, we'll cut off its neck. I mean, we'll cut off the top. Now, this is a lightweight bottle. When we make its skull, it will become quite heavy. So, to avoid any imbalance, I want to fill it with something heavy at the bottom.
I had this gravel lying around. I don't know what you call it, but we call it gravel. It's used in construction, etc. You can also use small stones. I have this
I've made two balls with it. Now, I'm taking shaped clay, which is from Mits Bits. With this, we'll cover the balls we made With this, we'll cover the balls we made
and to stick it together, I'm using this high-tech glue from Mits Bits. Now, look, you can make the entire ball with clay, but I'm  I'm not going to waste so much clay, so just the outer layer is going to be made of clay.
I've filled this old aluminum file inside it. Now, I'm going to fill a little clay on top as well so that the gravel we've filled does n't come out. On top of this, we'll stick its head with the
help of silicone glue. I've also got this silicone glue from It's Bits. In fact, all the materials I'm going to use are all from It's Bits. So, if you from It's Bits. So, if you
Also, if you use my coupon code, Mansi05, you'll get an extra 5% discount. Now, let's start with the difficult part, that is, we have to draw its face, which I find very difficult. Whenever I
think of drawing a nice face, that face turns out to be cartoon-like. So, I'm thinking of cartoon-like. So, I'm thinking of we'll make cute dolls like cartoons.  So, from the thumbnail, you might have guessed that we're
making a Rajasthani couple. So, for this, our hero, we'll make a big turban. Like, they don't wear big turbans, so
n't know how it will turn out. Now, you know the problem is, making eyes is very difficult. So, what I'm doing is, instead of eyes, I'm making goggles. We just need to put two round circles there. And we're done. So, the turban is on the boy's head, and
we'll put a chunni on the girl's head. I've used clay for the chunni as well. So, our boy and girl are ready, but the plastic is very smooth. We'll roughen it up a bit with sandpaper so that it's easy to paint. And before painting,
you know what I do. I'll apply gesso on it. Instead of gesso, you I'll apply gesso on it. Instead of gesso, you why does it look so ghost-like after painting? It looks as if we're  When I'm making a Halloween craft,
I sometimes doubt myself. I start out so messy, but how does it turn out right in the end? I think, "Right now, it's all white, so it looks like a ghost. Let's paint it a little bit, then maybe it'll look better." So,
because Rajasthani dresses are very colorful. They have Bandhani print on them, so that's something I've kept in mind, and I'm painting it with that in mind. Now, I've got it in mind, now I have to
paint it. Let's concentrate a little on that. I thought it would look good after painting, and it wo n't look like a ghost, but I do n't know why, but now it looks even more like a bloody n't know why, but now it looks even more like a bloody witch.
so it looks like a little bit of finishing. Let's try to make it a little more human-like, then maybe it won't look like a ghost. Now we'll paint the most difficult part: its face. Because if I make even the slightest
mistake, even a slight misstep, the face might start to look like some kind of animal. I have to concentrate on this
Now to give a slight shine beyond the glasses, I am using this metallic wax, you have to apply it very lightly, you do n't have to do too much, so now we will just draw on the small details on the face,
keep it colourful but not so colourful that it starts hurting the eyes, so I will add a little colour to it and I have also kept some similarities in both the dolls, I have not made them completely different, they should look like couples
look like couples [sangeet] [sangeet] [praise]
jewellery, for this I am taking this golden chain and I am [sangeet] So now our dolls are ready, but to keep them, I wanted a window type thing, so what material should I use to make that, so
when I don't understand anything, cardboard is always there  It's very useful, so I've brought this cardboard and I'm going to cut a window shape from it. I don't have to cut just one shape, I'm going to have to work a little bit, I'm going to cut out multiple window shapes, or I'm going to
cut out thin strips like this. I'll show you what to do, just I'll show you what to do, just watch.
So here I've cut thin strips of cardboard. And in this way, we'll cut them and stick them on all sides. And when we've stuck so many strips together, we'll get a thick base. Just make sure it's thick enough for
your bottle to stand inside. So, just keep that in mind. Now we'll use a little more scrap, that is, we'll take some old newspaper and cut it into small pieces. After that, we'll
cover the edges of the cardboard that look very dirty. Now I've made a mixture of wall putty, white glue, and water, which means I've made a paste. And we'll apply this paste on our window.  If we do this then what will happen is that
it will look like an original Jharokha type, meaning it will look like a Jharokha made of mud and meaning it will look like a Jharokha made of mud and
You just want to make it water and dust resistant, so apply varnish on it, but I am not doing that because I was liking it like this, so let's see its final look now. liking it like this, so let's see its final look now.
