Design Your Own Diya (Earthern Lamp)

Are you a fan of Earthen lamp or in simple words “Diya". We Indians are aware of Diya as it’s very close to our hearts. For others who don’t know about what it is, Diya is a small lamp and it is also known as ‘Deepak’ or ‘Deep’. A Diya is a traditional candle. Mainly we see the relation of Diwali and Diya and it’s just amazing. Diya’s aren’t just for Diwali they are for every occasion or festival. They light up our homes and our lives as well.

Nowadays there are a lot of Diya’s available in the market from traditional diya’s made from soil to Wax diya’s, Gel diya’s, Glass diya’s and the battery operated diya’s. But I think the exact Earthen lamp is the one made from soil, “Mitti Ka Diya”.

So here are some ideas to make your own beautiful diya’s by decorating it :

Diyas look more beautiful by coloring them with different colors and giving them small floral designs.

Decorate your diya with some shells, beads, some glass pieces, golden lace and these decorations are for the plane diya that you will decorate.

Some different style to decorate your diya try paper quilling.

Do it yourself small glass wax diyas.

You can even make a diya of your own with ceramic or POP (Plaster of Paris). You can make a simple bowl shape for a diya and decorate it or you will get diya moulds easily available in markets. Make beautiful diya out of it.

How about some origami to have some fun and decorating room as well.
