Diwali DIY
Sitting by the window and sipping hot chai and looking out to a lush green environment is what all of us want to do in our free time. But when i look out of my window i see a concrete jungle and so i choose to take my cuppa to my TV room and watch TV instead. It is indeed sad that our natural resources are getting depleted.
This Diwali i have made it a point to Go Green and do my bit. I have made use of old glass jars( which i would generally through away) and i am using them as my candle holders. Here is how I got them made.! You can make them at home too..
These are jars of sauces, teas, pickles and nutella which were first cleaned and their stickers removed. We then got rid of the metal lids and used left over stain glass paint to colour them in different colours.
After a few coats of paint the jars looked pretty and colourful after which we added the coir thin ropes around the neck to give it a rustic feel and of course to add the glamour quotient we added some coloured stones and little bells (ghungroos) to the bottles.
Just by adding a candle inside completed my candle jars. I have placed a tea-light, you can place block/tall candles as you wish.
This entire project was done by 'Nilesh' who is a young boy with special needs. He is a victim of Polio but very good with art. If you do not want to do this yourself or want to support him by buying any of these we would be happy to ship them to you.
The jar costs Rs 150/- and we will provide you with a Cash on Delivery.
