1. Using a compass draw circles of radius 5.5 cm on piece of cardboard.
2. Draw a line in the middle to divide the circle into two equal halves.
3. Now take a small piece of yellow paper and make a flame to fit one half of this circle and cut it out as shown below.
4. Now trace this flame on the cardboard so that the drawing resembles a burning diya and eventually our DIY Diwali wall hanging will also look like a diya.
5. Next cut out this shape carefully and remove the excess cardboard.
6. Also cut out a smaller flame from an orange piece of paper.
7. Now stick a piece of semi-circle paper on the bottom part and the flame cut outs on top.
8. Take a paper of size 21 cm * 5cm and roll it tightly to make small paper tubes.
9. Cut the paper tube in such a way to get one bigger and one smaller part.
10. Make more such paper tubes and cut to size.
11. Take a paper of size 9 cm * 9 cm and fold it in half diagonally.
12. Cut along the diagonal crease to get two triangle shapes of paper.
13. Take one piece and fold it in half along the height, make a crease and open the fold
14. Now fold the triangle piece of paper in a zigzag manner to get a thin strip.
15. Fold this strip along the middle and you will get a beautiful leaf shape.
16. Apply glue and secure.
17. Follow the steps above (11 onwards) to make similar leaves in different colors of your choice.
18. Now that we have all the pieces ready, we will assemble our DIY Diwali wall hanging.
19. Stick a big paper tube on the top portion of the diya.
20. Now stick the smaller paper tubes along the bottom curve of the diya.
21. Make sure to alternate between the two sizes of paper tubes as shown in the picture below.
