DIY Diwali Lantern



Things you need:
  1. Approx. 30 mid-size plastic cups
  2. Light wire containing approx. 30 lights (same as the number of cups you will use)
  3. Stapler 
  4. Cutter/Scissors
  5. Glue
  6. Chart papers (colour combination of your choice)
  7. Reflective decorative particles 

Step 1:


Slit all the cups at the bottom to make opening using the cutter. These slits will be useful later to insert the lights. The slit should be of the size mentioned in the image.




Step 2:


Hold the 2 cups together and staple them at the bottom. 






Similarly staple additional cups one beside the other. Repeat until you make a dome.



Step 3:


Cut the chart paper as flower petals considering the size of the dome. Stick/staple the petals around the dome together to form a flower and then stick reflective decorative particles on the edge of the petals. It will glitter and add beauty to the lantern when lit. 




Step 4:


Insert the lights one at a time in the cups from behind through the slits we cut in the Step 1. Start putting the lights in the cup from the center spiraling it outside one by one.
Note: Be careful as forceful handling will change the shape of the dome.

### Happy Diwali ###

Rajastani Puppet Show...

Hi All,          Though this is not a painting of mine but I liked what I did so here I'm showcasing it. Hope you enjoy this short story :D Mein huin aapka Puppet Master...  :D ;)

Night gathers, and now my watch begins.

Being a fan Game of Thrones (GoT) these lines “Night gathers, and now my watch begins.” from the Night’s Watch oath fascinated me. There isn’t “The Wall” to guard from “White Walkers” *damn reality*, so you can’t really take any such oath and therefore cannot recite these lines. But as we all have seen in GoT, Life is full of uncertainty, be it death or happiness. We just need to deal with whatever comes our way. Back Story: It was just a normal lazy Sunday with a plan to take party & give a tour to one of my friend to Global Vipassana Pagoda . A peaceful place to go away from the city chaos, take pictures of the beautiful pagoda and see some amazing art gallery on the Life of Gautama Buddha.
