After all Diwali is not just about bursting crackers but a festival of togetherness and a new beginning full of lights.So keeping the Eco-Friendly custom in mind, here we present you a DIY DIYA HOLDER FROM PLASTIC SPOON.
Diwali season brings along the cleanliness agenda and this is when we realize that we have a lot of scrap at our house. So this DIY tutorial in one solutions to the scrap that will add a different spark to your festive motto. The tutorial for the same goes as follows:

Steps
- First choose a measurement for your base circle of your choice.
- Cut a circular base out of the thermocol (Polystyrene) or card board.
- For the base you can also use waste CD Disk.
- Trace the outline on the back side of foam sheet with the help of a pencil.
- Cut it and stick it on the thermocol sheet.
-
After preparing the base for you diya holder, color the spoons with fabric color as it is best suitable for use with plastics.
-
Color four spoons with green color and the other four with orange (You can choose any color you like).
-
After you paint it, cut the above colored part.
-
Cutting the spoon after coloring allows you to have a perfect grip on the spoon while you paint it.
- Next, take the thermocol base and stick the orange spoons upside down with the help of glue gun.
- After sticking all the orange spoons upside down, stick green spoons between the orange ones.
- When you are finished, you will get a holder like this.
- To make it more attractive you can use various decorative products like half beads, mirrors, colorful beads or anything of you choice.
- Here, I have used small white beads for orange spoons.
-
To avoid placing every single bead one by one, what you can do is, take all the required beads and put it through a thread with the help of a needle.
-
Remove the needle leaving long threads on both the sides of the beads.
-
Apply glue gun or fevi kwik on the spoon.
Place the beads along with the thread.
- Once the beads are nicely settled, pull out the thread and repeat the same for the remaining three spoons.
- For the green ones you can stick beads and small mirrors.
-
And there you go!Your diya holder is set to enlighten your Diwali.
Keep recycling and keep decorating your home with K4craft.
