How to make Paper Diya Step by Step
- Take an orange sheet of paper and cut around 8- 10 circles out of this sheet.
- The size of the circle should be around 5cms.
- Next, fold these circles into half. Once folded you will get a semicircle out of this circle.
- Next, again fold this semicircle into half and follow this step for all the other semicircles.
- Once you finish this step you need to stick these entire ones over the other with the folded edges side to side.
- Once you finish sticking these folded semicircles, open this to achieve a circular pattern like that of a Diya.
- Next, use a yellow and a red sheet of paper to cut the shape of a flame; yellow should be a bit bigger than the red one.
- Stick the red flame over the yellow flame cutout.
- Next, stick this flame over the circular diya.
- That’s it, kids! Your beautiful paper diya is now ready.
