In order to create a simple diorama, all you need is a few basic materials to get started such as:

  • Glue 
  • Tape
  • Paper 
  • Your imagination

These are essential to have if you are a beginner at creating diorama sets. However, if you want to make a detailed diorama scene, then you can build or purchase additional objects for your set such as trees, rocks, wire and more. You could also use other materials such as metal or wood if you feel confident in your ability to create new sets.

In order to create a diorama set that is solid in its foundations, the best base to use is sculptamold. It's firm and easy to carve into and great if you want to add height and width dimensions to your diorama set. It is also very firm when dry. 

A cardboard base is also a cheaper option if you are creating your diorama on a budget.
