When I say Diwali, crackers may come into your mind as the first thing if you are a kid, but we use Diyas (light candlesticks), which will brighten houses and add beauty. Every festival has a story behind it, right? In the same way, the actions we take at that festival are also a reason. Diwali comes in the new moon period (called Amavasai), so lighting up Diyas removes the darkness and evil. Kaarthikai Deepam is a festival which is celebrated in Tamil Nadu, where people light up lights for 10 days. If you are a Tamil person, try this craft on that day.
Why not? You can replace this with candles to light up in churches if you won’t celebrate those listed festivals.
If you are looking for an adorable Diya stand for Diwali, then you are in the right place. Here we have listed various innovative ways of making Diya stand, and YouTube links too! If you look closely at all the crafts listed below, the main thing you need is the newspaper and sometimes cardboard. Scissors and glue are the supporting elements. Stones, lace, and small mirror stones are decorative parts. With these three-part crafts, we made these crafts. Besides, these 3 sections of things are easily available and cost-effective.
