DIY Diwali Decoration Ideas 2024: As Diwali, the festival of lights, approaches, the excitement increases to decorate your home with beautiful decorations. However, store-bought decorations are expensive and often cause environmental waste. Why not take a more sustainable and budget-friendly approach this year?
DIY Diwali Decoration Ideas 2024
We’ve put together 5 innovative DIY Diwali decoration ideas that turn everyday waste into stunning festive decorations.
1. Bottle Craft Diwali Art DIY
Transform discarded glass bottles into eye-catching decorations.
Add a festive touch by painting empty wine or water bottles in bright colors. Use as a unique vase or standalone showpiece. Fill bottles with fairy lights to create ambient lighting. Try the “decoupage” technique, which involves gluing colorful paper cutouts onto the surface of a bottle. For a mesmerizing effect, fill the bottle with sand, colorful stones, and LED lights.
2. Coconut shell DIY
Turn coconut shells into attractive and eco-friendly diyas.
Carefully split the coconut in half. Thoroughly wash the shells and remove the coir. Wrap jute twine around the ends to create a rustic look. Use strong glue to join the halves to create a bowl shape. Decorate the shells with beads and patterns. Place the wick in the center and pour the wax around it.
Pro tip: To ensure a clean crack, heat the coconut on the stove or in a candle for 7 to 10 minutes before cracking it.
3. Newspaper roll Diya stand DIY
Give old newspapers a new purpose with these creative Diya stands.
Roll up the newspaper tightly and secure it with eco-friendly glue. Arrange and glue these rolls to form interesting shapes and patterns. Once dry, paint the stand in festive colors like gold, red, or green. Place diyas or tea lights on top to create a warm and inviting light.
4. Coconut Shell Tran DIY
Create stunning torans (door hangings) using coconut shells.
Prepare the coconut shell as described in the diya method. Cut a small hole in the top of each shell for hanging. Reuse colorful fabrics or old torans to cover the shells. Tie the shells together using thick string. Decorate between the shells with beads, bells, or fabric tassels. Hang eco-friendly torans in your entryway or puja room.
5. Plastic cup candle holder
Give your disposable plastic cups a festive makeover.
Wash the plastic cup thoroughly and dry it. Paint the cups in festive colors with acrylic paint. Once dry, add patterns and designs using contrasting colors. Place a tea light or small diya inside each cup. Place these colorful holders around your home to create a magical atmosphere.
This idea not only reuses plastic waste, but also creates a safe, enclosed space to place candles, reducing the risk of fire during celebrations. This Diwali, let’s celebrate not only the victory of light over darkness, but also the triumph of creativity over waste.
