A beautiful 2 for 1 Diwali Craft in your college students to make this Diwali Vacation Season. The Diwali competition is also called the competition of sunshine. It’s a celebration of coloration and lightweight. Key themes for this vacation are Diyas – a small oil lamp, in addition to Rangolis – colourful patterns. Right here we share a 2 for 1 Diya Craft. College students could make both a 3d Paper Diya decoration to hold within the classroom or the same Pop Up Diya Card to take house for family and friends. The 3d component makes it an ideal STEM venture – particularly because the craft is circle based mostly.. and you’ll talk about semi circles and quarters, while make this beautiful craft.
Three completely different templates have been included. In addition to a “print to coloured paper” model, for various classroom purposes. The pattern shared right here makes use of the smallest circle templates for the decoration, the pop up card makes use of the medium circle templates. You possibly can combine and match flame sizes too if you want.

The best way to make a Pop Up Diya Card for Diwali
Keep in mind, we’ve got implausible ad-free worksheet directions for BOTH the 3d Paper Diya Decoration and the greeting card to print out over on Gumroad.
Lower out your paper Diya Shapes
Select what measurement Paper Diya you want to make and print out your templates. Lower out your shapes in desired Diya colours. For an decoration 10-12 circles, 8 flames are good. For the cardboard 6 circles and 1 flame in yellow and 1 in orange is enough.
Fold your paper shapes
Fold the circle in half after which in half once more, so you’ve gotten a quartered circles. Fold the flames in half size clever (keep in mind for the Pop Up card – we solely used ONE yellow one and ONE orange one which we minimize down a bit of).
Making the Diya Base
Assemble the Diya base first: Open the circle, so you possibly can see the semi circle and add glue to 2/3s of the left aspect (see first picture, between the white traces). Fold and safe.
Add glue to the surface flap – alongside the backbone and once more 2/3 alongside the curve (see second picture). Take care that you’ve got your folds the suitable manner round – you want the 2 openings on the left with the closed backbone on the suitable.
Place a second quarter onto the glue. If accomplished accurately, you need to have the ability to see 4 opening petals (see third picture). Repeat these three steps till you’ve gotten a stack of papers. As talked about above, for the decoration a stack of 10-12 is good, for the cardboard, 6 is sufficient.
To show this right into a Diya Decoration, do seize out worksheets off gumroad or go to right here.
Assembling the Pop Up Card
We made a 2nd flame (although you can also make it in 3d too)
Take the orange flame and minimize down and glue inside your yellow flame (picture 1).
Fold your card in half – so you’ve gotten a central line.
Add glue to the one half of your Diya base and one half of your flame (picture 2)
Place on the fold of the cardboard and safe. It’s best to align the flame as near the crease as potential. While the bottom, as it’s cumbersome, may be moved a 1mm or 2 away from the crease. Add glue the uncovered flaps (picture 3).
Shut the cardboard and push down to assist safe the Diya shapes. Open and your fundamental pop up Diya card is completed!
In case you “layer a few of the flames”, you should use them to pop as effectively! Add glue to 1 half of your flame and place a second flame on prime, till you’ve gotten a stack of flames as effectively.
You too can make a 3d flame, which seems like this (merely use a the flame “stack” as a substitute of the 2nd flame).
Ta-daaaa. Your Pop Up Diwali card is completed! Time to want your loved ones and associates a really Completely happy Diwali! As talked about these templates may be become 3d Paper Decorations as effectively!
