DIY Hand Painted Diyas

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....

DIY Mirror Candle Holder

Hello my friend, welcome back!!

I have always been fascinated by mirrors, and candles and the 

combination of the two just takes my breath away.....

Today I'll show you how I made this Mirror Candle Holder....

Mirror Candle Holder

I used the following material:

1.  5" round mirror
2. Turquoise teardrop rhinestones
3. Yellow flower-shaped rhinestones
4. Pearls- small and big
5. Glass votive holder
6. Glue (forgot to keep it in the picture)

Materials 

The process was not as complex as it looks.....

I decided on the layout and then glued the rhinestones, pearls and 

the votive holder on the mirror base......

And this is the result.....

Candle Holder- Centerpiece

And this is how it looks serving its purpose....
