Diwali is the festival of lights, colours, and food. But the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about Diwali is beautifully lit up balconies, courtyards, gardens, or terraces. Since Diwali this year is going to be a low-key affair, it is probably the best time to let your creativity shine and also save a ton of money that is normally spent on pre-Diwali decoration. Although you might have come across many home décor ideas by now so the following list comprises of such homemade lamps/shades that never go out of style. They are simple, elegant, and can make you feel right at home if you are away from your family this Diwali. They can also make for beautiful Diwali presents.
Hula Hoop Chandelier
You will need a hula hoop, cello tapes, thread, and fairy lights to make this chandelier which is perfect for your verandah or balcony. Take the hoop and twine the lights with the help of tapes or you can also use thread. Once done you can hang it with the help of sturdy threads. This homemade chandelier can add a whole lot of quirky glam to your home this Diwali
Jar Lights
This is probably the easiest way to make a lamp that never stops being beautiful. Insert string lights in medium opaque or transparent jars and find a place to hang them or keep them. That’s it! However, you can also decorate the rim of the jar with flowers or glitter, etc. These look best in the living room or sofa side table.
