Wrapping Up:

Using craft mirrors, you can quickly and easily decorate your MDF puja thali cutouts ethically. If you do not have acrylic paints or brushes, you may still adorn the thali by putting on pieces of velvet and decoupage sheets. Afterward, use adhesive to adhere pearls, gems, and stones of varying prices to show how much they're worth. Moreover, use marker paints instead of acrylic colors to fill the base or features on the plates.
