The festival of lights is upon us and fireworks are already lighting up the sky every now and then. But is it always necessary to splurge on fireworks? Can't we just spread happiness with whatever we have? Make this your first DIY-wali -recycle waste and create fantastic decor to brighten up your home! And here's how...
EGG CARTON LIGHTS
Egg cartons are something we all have in plenty at home. So, just get hold of one, cut out the cones (egg slots) and colour them. Once the paint dries, cut equally-spaced slits to create petals and make a small hole at the bottom of the cone to let a light bulb (rice light) pass through. Make as many as you want and decorate your home!
CANDLE IN A SHOT GLASS
Most of us have half-burnt candles at home. Take those and melt in a vessel. You can also use wax dye to get the right colour. Cut a wick and paste it to the bottom of the shot glass, making sure the other end hangs out. Pour the molten wax into the glass, while holding the upper end of the wick erect.Once the wax cools down, your candle is ready! You can also make candles with different coloured layers. Just pour in a layer, let it cool a bit and then pour in wax of a different colour.
CARDBOARD RANGOLI
Rangolis have never been this easy to make! Just draw a design on a cardboard and paint it with poster or water colour.
Decorate the board with glitter, beads and pieces of brocade to create a strikingly beautiful rangoli that will stay put the entire day! You can also replace traditional brass thalis with decorated and coloured thermocol plates. These plates can also be used as wall hangings. Happy Diwali!
LANTERNS FROM OLD JARS
This one is even easier! Wash a jar and let it air dry. Meanwhile, use stencil to draw on adhesive paper and cut out the stickers. Paste these stickers and use acrylic colour (needed for glass painting) to paint the jar. Let the colour dry for a few hours and peel off the stickers. Place a candle, rice light or a diya inside the jar and enjoy the result! You can also hang it up using a metal wire.
MOSAMBI PEEL DIYAS
Mosambi or orange peels make fantastic diyas. All you need to do is cut out the peel in two distinct hemispheres, remove all traces of pulp and fill them with mustard oil. You can also cut the sides of the peel in different shapes for an added effect. Now, just place a wick and light up! You can also put wax inside the peel and make a candle. How cool is that?
