This year, celebrate eco-friendly Diwali. Transform mason jars into lanterns, create rangoli with bottle caps, design wall hangings from fabric scraps, make coconut shell candles, and repurpose old string lights for a festive Diwali.
Diwali, the festival of lights, is a time for celebration and creativity. Why not make your decorations sustainable this year by using recycled materials? Here are a few creative ideas to help you brighten up your home while being kind to the planet.
Transform old mason jars into beautiful lanterns. Paint them with vibrant colours or decorate them with twine, lace, or beads. Place a tealight candle inside or use LED lights to create a warm glow.
Gather bottle caps in different colours to create a unique rangoli design at your entrance. Arrange them in patterns and shapes to welcome guests while giving a new life to something that would otherwise be discarded.
Use leftover fabric scraps to create beautiful wall hangings. Cut the fabric into various shapes and sew or glue them onto a sturdy backing. Hang these creations on your walls to add colour and texture to your home.
Don’t throw away coconut shells after enjoying the fruit! Clean them out, fill them with wax or a mixture of sand and tealights, and use them as natural candles. These add a rustic charm to your Diwali décor.
If you have old string lights lying around, give them a new purpose. Use them to illuminate your home by wrapping them around stair railings, door frames, or even inside jars for a magical effect.
This Diwali, let your creativity shine while being environmentally conscious. By using recycled materials, you can create beautiful decorations that reflect the spirit of the festival. Happy Diwali!
