• Glass jar
• Epoxy Resin
• Sun Board pieces
• Corrugated sheet
• Epoxy clay
• Acrylic paints
• Cutter
• Superglue
• Blue - dried watercolor
• Sand

• Using 2 to 3 pieces of sun board, carve an island as shown
• Glue them together and adjust the slope
• Make sure it fits easily inside the bottle/jar
• using PVA glue, stick fine sand on the island

• To make the hut, cut 10mm strips and glue them together
• Carve the roof as shown
• Make sure that the hut is not too large
• Add roof using corrugated box
• Paint the hut red and draw doors and windows with white color

• To make the tree, I have used epoxy clay(mold-it)
• I made 5 leaves and a trunk
• The clay takes 1hr to dry and does not need any baking
• Paint the leaves and branch
• Add details by using a red marker on the trunk and a blue marker on the leaves

• This is the first step for assembly
• Glue the island inside the Jar using PVA glue, let this dry for few hours
• Prepare epoxy resin with blue pigment
• Pour the resin into the jar gently and avoid overflow
• Resin will take 24 hours to set

• On the next day, glue the hut and tree
• I added a boat later

• The next day I noticed that the jar was hazy
• I had left glue and resin marks all over
• To clean the jar, use steel wool to clean the jar

• Detailing is a key aspect of miniature
• Using white acrylic, I drew some waves to give a realistic look
• We are done, place it on a shelf and our new unique and decorative item is ready
