DIY Diya with newspaper - Craft 7

Cute newspaper diya by Anushya - 12 yrs

Materials required

Old Newspaper
Glue
Paints
Brush
Scissors

Cut one sheet from one side of the newspaper. Cut it further into four long equal pieces. Now make them into long rolls by rolling from one end to another diagonally. Attached video for help.

 Make total 5 rolls for one diya. To attach the roll, put little glue in one end (inside the roll) and push another roll edge into it. It will be like one big roll. Repeat for other rolls.

Start from one edge, and slow make a big tight round from the long roll. Stick in the start and end.

After it dries, slowly shape it like a cup first. Then pinch one edge to give shape to the diya.

Apply thin layer of fevicol inside the diya everywhere and allow it to dry. This way, the diya will not lose shape and become stronger.

Now paint it in single or multiple colours as you like. Paint inside first. After it dries, paint outside also.

Your cute paper diya is ready.

Materials required

Waste CD
Cellotape

First remove the white portion side where the name is written on the CD using a knife. That is the CD is cut along the circumference mildy with a knife to make it into 2 parts. Now we will be using the transparent portion.
