Diwali vacation is here and have to keep the kids occupied with something activities.
To make this i gave her cutouts from yellow and red tinted paper. Embellishments were from Foam Diya DIY Kits.
She arranged it beautifully. I personally liked it so much that next year some of our Diwali Cards will definitely have these Diyas.
Diwali Toran:
This was solely her idea. Some of my foam diya's were damaged so I had cut them into halves.
When I was wondering what do with those pieces. She came along and told me help her with making a Toran.
So she arranged them in an alternate pattern and asked me to cut leaves from glitter foam.
It was looking very pretty, so I added some embellishment to get this final look.
Lantern with wax design
This was something I had done with my mother, don't exactly remember what she had taught me.
Still I decided to just try with my daughter.
We made a design with black marker on a tinted orange sheet. Then we filled the design with a wax candle (treating as a crayon). Once the entire design was covered with a thin layer of dry wax powder, I tried to ironing it. But that did not work. So we exposed it to slow heat of the candle flame ... that did the trick. The wax melted leaving behind a transparent design on paper.
Finally we pasted the two open ends together. This is how it looked with a tea light inside.
So we did lots of paper and foam craft. Here are few things my younger daughter made.
