Step 2: Making A Line With White Marker/ Sketch pen On Drop Shape

Now, keep the sea green coloured drop shape on the glass apparatus and with the help of a white marker/sketch pen make a line on the middle of the drop shape as shown.

Step 3: Making Veins On The Drop Shape With White Marker/ Sketch pen

After making a white line in the middle of the sea green coloured shape, make slant lines on the straight lines with the help of a white marker/sketch pen. This will make white-coloured veins on the sea green-coloured drop shape.

Step 4: Twisting And Turn The Brown Clay

Now, take the brown-coloured clay and take a thin stick. First, make the brown-coloured clay an elongated line. After making the brown elongated line, attach one part of the brown clay to the thin stick and do twists and turns along the thin stick.

Step 5: Presing The Brown Clay

Keeping the turned brown-coloured clay on the glass apparatus, press the brown-coloured clay against the thin stick to make a proper stem-type shape.

Step 6: Sticking The Stem Type Shape On The Bottom Of The Drop Shape

After making the stem-like shape with the help of a thin stick, paste the stem-type shape on the bottom of the sea green coloured drop shape with the help of glue.

Step 7: Making A Leaf Shape With Orange Clay

Now, take an orange-coloured clay and make a leaf-like shape with an orange-coloured clay.

After making a leaf-like shape with orange-coloured clay, take a blunt butter knife and give a cut-type shape on both sides of the border of the leaf shape.

Step 8: Making Dots With White Marker/ Sketch pen On Leaf Shape

Now, with the help of a white marker/sketch pen, make small dots on the orange leaf-type shape as shown.

Take a green-coloured clay and pull it from both sides of the green-coloured clay as much as you can.

Now, take a wooden circle and the green-coloured clay which you were pulling above.

Stick the green-coloured clay with the help of glue on the wooden circle by spreading the whole green-coloured clay on the wooden circle in the same shape as the wooden circle.

Step 11: Making Grasses With a Whisk On Green Clay

Now, take a whisk and the wooden circle where you have stuck the green-coloured clay. With the help of the whisk, make grasses on the green clay.

To make grasses, put the small whisk in the green-coloured clay, after putting the small whisk, pull the small whisk out of the green-coloured clay and you will get your desired grasses as shown in the picture.

Step 12: Sticking The Drop Shape Tree On The Grass Area
