Make this beautiful use of old earthen diyas after Diwali

On the auspicious occasion of Diwali, earthen diyas are traditionally used extensively to make every home glow with lights. After this festival is over, many people consider these diyas useless and throw them in the garbage thinking that they are of no use now. But in reality, instead of throwing away these old earthen diyas, they can be reused to make very attractive and beautiful home decor items.

Three different and creative ways can be adopted to decorate the home using these old diyas. According to the first method, a floating candle garden can be prepared. For this, a large brass, glass or earthen plate has to be taken and filled with clean water. Rose petals, marigold flowers and some green leaves are added to this water.

For this decoration of the floating candle garden, first of all, the old diyas have to be cleaned properly and dried. Then, golden, red or white color has to be applied on their outer part and lace with small pearls is pasted on their edges. Small tea-light candles are placed inside these beautifully prepared diyas.

These prepared diyas are arranged inside the water or on its edge. The decoration is completed by arranging fresh flowers around it. This beautiful floating candle garden can be placed on the center table of the living room, in the balcony or inside the prayer room.

Through the second method, a beautiful wall hanging can be made from the old diyas. For this, 5 to 7 old earthen diyas have to be taken and cleaned well. After that, they are painted with different colors like blue, yellow, green, maroon and golden.

The diyas of this wall hanging are decorated very attractively with small flowers, leaves, bindis or traditional designs. These diyas are tied at different heights on a strong stick or circular wooden base with the help of a strong thread or thin rope.

Colorful pearls, small bells, cowrie shells and tassels are added along with these diyas. After all this material is ready, this beautiful wall hanging can be respectfully hung on the wall of the house, which enhances the look of the home.

According to the third and final method, a multilayer stand can be prepared for traditional decoration. In this method too, 5 to 7 earthen diyas are taken, cleaned and dried, and painted with golden, white or copper color.

A strong circular wooden base is taken for this decoration. Using small wooden stands or strong metal, these diyas are arranged at different heights.

Colorful stones, dried flowers or small decorative pearls are filled inside each of these diyas. A large diya is placed on the topmost part of this multilayer stand. This prepared attractive multilayer stand looks very beautiful to be placed on the center table or in the prayer room.
