Diwali is coming. This festival is colorful with diyas, crackers, flowers etc ,,,
We will make it even more colorful with our crafts.
Lets start the process,,,,,,
Step: 1
Items needed:
1. Papers
2. Thin stick
3. Ruler
4. Glue
5. 2 Acrylic Paints(1 dark & 1 light)
6. Paint Brushes
Step: 2
Take one paper, place the stick at one corner and start rolling. Once you reach the end, apply some glue and stick it. Separate the stick from the roll.
Step: 3
You will need 10 rolls like this for one candle holder.
Step: 4
Take two rolls. Apply very little glue to one roll, at one end. Insert this into other roll. In this procedure, whenever you need to join the rolls, do this way. Don't attach them outside.
Step: 5
Take the roll which we made in Step 4 and measure 5 inch. Fold the roll five times with this measurement. Because star has 5 sides.
You can change this measurement as per your candle size.
Step: 6
Make a star shape like this. Apply some glue at one end & join the edges. Make sure your star is in proper shape.
Step: 7
Take one roll and attach this to one corner. Start rolling this to all the corners as shown in the pictures. If you are out of roll, join the rolls as i said in step 4 and continue rolling.
If you covered all the corners once, then you have completed 1 round. Repeat the process an make 4 rounds. Make sure you are giving enough and equal space in all the sides and in all the rounds.
Step: 8
If you have excess roll after completing 4 rounds, cut the excess part. Apply some glue at the edge. Attach this edge to the back side of the star. Hold it for a minute or until it get stick.
Your star will look like this.
Step: 9
Place your candle at the center of the star and check.
If it is not fitting at the center, slowly adjust the sides and make some space.
Step: 10
Take dark color paint in a tray and add few drops of water if needed. Dip the brush in the paint and start painting evenly. I didn't paint on the back side. I did only in the visible areas.
Don't worry this is not much messy. Keep it aside and give some time to dry.
You can stop at this point or if u want you can decorate it more.
I want to do some more painting.
Take other color paint and put some dots randomly or in any order.
Instead of dots you can draw lines as well.
If you have powder glitters, you can sprinkle it when the base color is slightly wet. Let it dry for sometime.
Here it is,,,,
Our Star shaped Candle Holder is ready.
I made some more in different colors.
After festival you can use these as a wall decor by arranging them in some pattern.
!!!! Wishing you all a Happy & Safe Diwali !!!!
