Bricksnwall Trusted Experts

Are you looking for some stunning Diwali decoration ideas?  you wish to get back to your roots and long for the simplicity of the good old days, when clay lamps were the standard and LED lights were a distant dream. Alternatively, you might spend quality time with your children and have them help you around the house. Here are some Diwali lighting ideas to inspire your creativity and imagination. Bring out the paint, uncap the glue bottle, put on your artist cap, and prepare to light up your home in style.

Coloured Glass Diwali Decor for Your Home

There is something magical about light shining through tinted glass. All you need for this simple and stunning Diwali light decoration are glass bangles, pieces of cardstock or discarded cardboard, heavy-duty glue, and tea lights. Using one of the bangles, trace a circular base on the cardstock. Snip away and then glue the bangles together to create a sparkly tea light holder. To make a taller cylinder, use six to seven bangles or more. To add glitter, embellish with beads, rhinestones, and sequins, or leave as is.

Diya Decoration Using Miscellaneous Items at Home

Do you have a collection of CDs that are taking up valuable space in a forgotten corner? Give them some pizazz and a fresh lease on life. Use acrylic paint to create designs on a CD and embellish with beads and sequins. For the simplest Diwali decoration, place or glue a tea light or a clay diya in the centre of the CD.

For a more intricate diya display, arrange a succession of adorned CDs at varying heights.

Diwali Diya Designs With Rangoli for a Festive Touch

Rangolis are believed to bring good luck and are a popular house decoration option during Diwali. Even the most basic rangolis may be converted into stunning works of art with some careful diya placement. Place the diyas on the outer rim of the rangoli or in radiating lines from the middle. Floral designs or rangolis created of flowers can be made much more beautiful when adorned with lit diyas. Experiment with clay lamps with multiple faces, placing them in the heart of the Rangoli for maximum impact. You cannot go wrong with their amazing Diwali illumination designs!

Bring the Sound of the Sea

Make diya decorations out of the stack of seashells you collected on your beach walk for a wonderful appearance. You can also repurpose seashells from out-of-use decorations. Pour molten wax into a big shell with a flat bottom and insert a wick to make a quick and stunning candle. Placing a tealight in such a shell will produce the same effect. Place the lamp on the coffee table or side tables in your living room, ideally on a bed of flowers. Alternatively, use smaller shells to embellish an old shot glass or small bowl, resulting in lovely votive holders. 

Use hand painting, rhinestones, mirrors, and pearls for Diwali decorations

Make Diwali a festival of colours by painting your diya decorations. For this exercise, you'll need clay diyas (with or without pre-made designs), acrylic paint, and paintbrushes. Soak the diyas in water for several hours to remove any remaining dirt and ensure that they absorb less oil. To remove excess moisture, dry them in the sun or naturally. Turn the lamps upside down and use a thick brush to paint the base and outside surface. Wait for the paint to dry before flipping them over and painting the insides. To highlight an existing design, use a contrasting colour or gold tones. Pay close attention to the rim of the bulb.

Use celebratory colours such as orange, red, yellow, and gold; the brighter the better. Once the paint has dried, you can embellish with mirrors, pearls, or rhinestones, or use glitter pens to give a bit of glitz. This lovely diya decoration will undoubtedly get you accolades from friends and family alike.

Paper Lanterns and Diyas for Diwali Decoration

Intricate quilling gives a touch of sophistication that is difficult to reproduce, and there are numerous ways to apply this craft style for diya decorations. Create a beautiful diya holder by arranging quilled flowers in concentric circles on a stiff paper foundation. To obtain a similar effect, adhere quilled forms directly to a tea light with a hot glue gun. Choose festive hues for your quilling strips, and you'll be ready to light up the festival of lights in flair. Diya painting designs have never been simpler.

Floating Tea Lights and Diyas in a Copper or Brass Bowl

Fill a large dish with water and scatter some flower petals on it. Take a tea light and create a base out of sparkling foam paper. Draw a design around the base, such as a giant flower, and cut foam to that shape. Fasten the light to the paper and then go all out with embellishments. When finished, gently lower the paper into the water, so that it floats on the surface. Light the bulb and feel the magic happen.
