1. Upcycled glass jar diyas Diwali is incomplete without diyas and you can add a creative twist to them by upcycling glass jars into stunning diyas or lanterns. Simply clean and paint the jars in attractive colours that capture the spirit of the festival, then place an oil lamp inside.

2. DIY rangoli Instead of using synthetic powders, consider making a rangoli with natural materials like rice, lentils, or flower petals. These biodegradable options not only elevate your decor but also add a vibrant touch to your festive spirit.

3. Coconut shell diyas Embrace the natural charm of coconut shells by upcycling them into beautiful diyas. Clean and polish the shells to highlight their inner beauty, and add a small holder for an oil lamp or tea light. These diyas help reduce waste by repurposing a commonly discarded item.

4. Recycled paper crafts Transform scrap paper, old greeting cards, or wrapping paper into creative wall hangings to bring in the Diwali spirit. Cut the paper into shapes like stars, hearts, or diyas, and string them together to create stunning garlands or wall decorations.

5. Clay pot planters Use terracotta pots as DIY planters by decorating them with natural paints or simple designs. Add a creative touch by filling them with seasonal plants or herbs for a vibrant addition to your Diwali home decor.

6. Upcycled wooden decor Repurpose reclaimed wood to create rustic decor pieces, such as wall art or small sculptures. You can create a unique design by cutting the wood into various shapes and sizes. Then, paint or stain them in earthy tones or bright colours to match your decor.

7. Solar powered lights Solar powered lights are a sustainable option for home decor during Diwali. These lights feature small solar panels that absorb sunlight and convert solar energy into electrical energy. You can use them as tabletop accents or hang them from trees.
