Diwali has always been a festival of light and new beginnings for my family. This year, I wanted to do something different for our home entrance. Instead of buying a decoration, I decided to create one myself—a small Ganesh idol, lovingly handcrafted with my own hands.

My search for the perfect mould led me to Snoogg, a store I've come to trust fIts simple, elegant desor all my art supplies. When I browsed snoogg.com, I instantly fell in love with their Ganesh mould. ign was perfect. It wasn’t a mass-produced piece, but a mould that promised a unique, personal creation.

The package arrived, and the mould was even better in person. Holding it, I felt a spark of inspiration. The plan was simple: create a clear resin Ganesh with gold leaf and dried flowers embedded within. It would shimmer in the light of our diyas, a beacon of positive energy at our doorway.

The process of mixing the resin, adding the gold leaf, and carefully placing the tiny, colorful flowers was meditative. Each step was a small prayer, a wish for prosperity and happiness for my family. I poured the resin into the mould, the clear liquid filling every curve and line, and watched as the gold leaf swirled and settled around the outline of the deity. It felt like I was capturing a moment in time, a feeling of hope and gratitude.

I waited patiently for the resin to set, the anticipation building with each passing hour. When I finally demoulded the piece, a stunning, transparent Ganesh greeted me. The gold leaf shimmered, and the delicate flowers looked as if they were floating in space. It was perfect.

The resin Ganesh now sits proudly at our entrance, catching the light and welcoming guests. It’s more than just a decoration. It’s a symbol of my effort, my love, and my desire to bring something truly special into our home this Diwali. It’s a constant reminder that with a little creativity and the right tools from a trusted source like the snoogg shop, you can craft not just an object, but a feeling—a feeling of joy, peace, and handmade love.
