Plain clay diyas are boring. Learn 10 simple ways to decorate them at home. Use paints, beads, and mirrors to create beautiful lights for your house.
Buy plain clay diyas from any local shop. Get acrylic paints, glitter, small mirrors, and strong glue. These items cost under Rs 500 in total.
Wash your diyas first. Paint them with bright colours like red, yellow, or blue. Add gold lines on the edges. Let them dry for two hours before lighting.
Stick small mirrors around the diya using craft glue. The flame will reflect in the mirrors and create beautiful light effects in your room.
Paint the diya base first. Then stick colourful beads or kundan stones in flower patterns. This works great for your puja room decorations.
Cover diyas with silk or velvet cloth. Glue the fabric tightly. Add golden lace on the edges. These look perfect as table centrepieces.
Apply glue all over the diya. Sprinkle glitter powder on top. Shake off extra glitter. Mix two colours for a gradient effect that looks amazing.
Place diyas inside rings made of marigold flowers. Or glue small flower petals around the rim. This brings fresh fragrance to your home too.
