use of old bangles
There is often an accumulation of old or useless bangles in the house. Women use red and green bangles in crafts, but yellow bangles are often overlooked. This Diwali, instead of throwing away these bangles, you can use them to make beautiful and vintage hanging diya holders. You can make a 3D frame by joining 6 to 8 old yellow bangles together and then mount it on a cardboard base to create a sturdy holder. The lamp or tea-light candle lit in it will fill your home with light and positive energy.
making bangle holder
First, collect some old glass or plastic bangles of similar size and color in your home. Approximately 6 to 8 bangles will be required to make a strong and attractive holder. Clean these bangles well so that the glue can stick easily.
Creating a 3D Frame
Stick two bangles across each other with the help of glue or tape so that it takes the shape of a round cage. This will form the main body of your candle holder.
building a strong base
A base will be required to keep the lamp or candle. For this, make a round circle by placing the bangle on some cardboard or old cardboard and cut it with scissors. Apply glue on this round cardboard and stick it firmly on the bottom part of the 3D structure made of bangles.
putting finishing touch
To give an attractive look to the candle holder, paint the top and bottom of the cardboard with a color of your choice like golden, black or acrylic. After the paint dries, it will look premium and the cardboard will not be visible.
Making a Hanging Loop
To hang this holder, tie a thin rope, beautiful string or twine firmly on the upper part of the bangles. You can adjust the length of the string as per your requirement so that it remains at the right height when hung from walls or ceilings.
decorating the house
With this simple DIY hanging candle holder, your work is done. Place a small tea-light candle or lamp on its base and light it. You can hang it in puja room, balcony, living room or walls. As soon as its light spreads, your house will look very beautiful.
