Step 1: Gather Your Materials
To create your own paper diyas, you will need the following materials:
- Colored or patterned paper
- Scissors
- Glue or tape
- Tealight candle or battery-operated LED light
- Decorative embellishments (such as sequins, glitter, or beads)
Step 2: Cut and Fold the Paper
Start by cutting a piece of colored or patterned paper into a square. The size of the square will determine the size of your paper diya, so you can adjust it according to your preference. Once you have your square, fold it in half diagonally to create a triangle. Then, fold the triangle in half again to create a smaller triangle.
Step 3: Create the Diya Shape
With the folded triangle in front of you, use your scissors to make small, even cuts along the folded edge, leaving about an inch of space from the edge of the paper. Be sure to stop cutting before reaching the tip of the triangle. Then, carefully unfold the paper to reveal a beautiful, intricate design that will form the shape of your paper diya.
Step 4: Assemble the Diya
Next, carefully bring the two opposite corners of the paper together to form a cone shape. Use glue or tape to secure the edges, creating a pocket at the top for your tealight candle or battery-operated LED light.
Step 5: Add Decorative Embellishments
To add a personal touch to your paper diya, you can decorate it with sequins, glitter, beads, or any other embellishments of your choice. Get creative and make your paper diya truly unique and eye-catching.
Step 6: Light Up Your Diya
Once your paper diya is assembled and decorated, place a tealight candle or battery-operated LED light inside the pocket at the top. Then, find a special place in your home to display your handmade creation and watch as it lights up the room with warmth and beauty.
