DIY Diwali lantern ideas to brighten up your home this festive season

Diwali is all about about the dazzling sky, glittering homes, and jolly faces. Before finally spending a gala time with family this festival, a lot of your efforts go into cleaning and decorating home. The process, though hectic, is zestful and brings out your creativity to the fullest. This Diwali, we have penned down some of the brilliant ideas to make lanterns at home using easily available stuff.

1. Funky paper lamps

Buy large chart papers with your choice of colours. Use a scale and a pair of the compass to draw different shapes. Cut out the shapes with a paper cutter or a pair of scissors and twist the sheet into cylindrical or conical shapes, and stick with glue. Stick bright coloured tissues paper discs or squares all around the paper lanterns. Do not forget to hand the holder inside the shape, before lighting it up for a bright evening.

2. It’s the time to disco!

There are many variations to the designs of lanterns including hornet’s nest lamps and disco balls. For a hornet’s lamp, cut equal pieces of papers into a rectangle. Roll them into cylindrical shapes and stick the edges. You can simply line a self-made lantern with glue and shimmer it up by sprinkling glitter all round to create your disco ball. It is par-tay time!
