Hi...Today's post is about the most fun I had doing something special for this Diwali....I painted so many diyas this year that I am going to share with you today.
You must have seen some of them in my previous blogpost Diwali 2014
I have used the following materials:
- Terracotta Diyas- varied sizes.
- Acrylic colors- Regular and Pearl finish.
- Rhinestones- Different colors, shapes and sizes.
- 3D Outliners/ Puffy paints.
- Glue- Any strong glue will do.
- Paintbrushes.
- Water- for cleaning the brushes.
- Rag cloth.
I soaked the diyas in water for 15-20 mins, then rinsed them and let them dry completely....
When they were dry, I used acrylic colors in different combinations to paint them....
When the paints were completely dry, I further decorated them with 3D Outliners....
After it dried, I glued the rhinestones to the diyas...It was a backbreaking project, but the final output washed away the pain....I was very happy with the way they turned out...
Let me show you some pictures now....Here, I have used big Diyas, approximately 6 inches in diameter.....I have tried to give them an Antique look....
