We hope that this year’s Diwali for you was as wonderful as ours! By this time most of you must be wondering as what to do with the used diya’s. So here we have some really interesting ideas which will help you to upcycle and reuse the diya’s in a way which will ultimately bring peace and happiness to your soul. If you are wondering how then have a look at these wonderful ideas, and remember to wash the diyas with warm soapy water before use and make sure that they are properly sundried.
Make Urili– To make an urili bowl all you need is a big sized diya, and some small diya’s to go with it. With the help of a gluegun stick the small diya’s around the big one and tadaaaaa… your DIY urili bowl is ready!
Handpaint– Another idea is to paint the diya’s in colorful colors. You can use different color combinations and different patterns to make them look more attractive. You can use these diya’s to decorate special corners of your home like table tops, puja room etc.
Diya holder– You can also prepare a diya stand or a diya holder like this. Use a cardboard peice and cut it into the desired shapes. You can also buy pre cut artistic mdf pieces online and start your craft over it. Use 3D or acrylic colors to paint and create designs on your holder. You don’t have to create a special enclosed area to keep the diya, just place the diya as is on the holder. Simply place or stick a regular diya on the top and it will look just gorgeous.
Use embellishment– You can also use materials like stones, pearls and mirrors to decorate and embellish your diya’s. The diya’s will look more striking when painted before embellishing.
