As Diwali is this Tuesday, I went shopping. wanted to buy a Kandiil for Diwali...but when I asked the price non was less than 200 Rs.They were not pretty at all, I did not felt that they were worth spending 200 Rs.. I still had paper leftovers from my sister's Birthday card.... so I thought lets make some Kandiil for this Diwali . This is how the final product looks like.
We need some colorful translucent papers, paper cutter, cello tape, 1 m thread.
To make a Kandiil of the same size as in picture, Cut 4 squares ( 3x3 inches), 8 triangles ( 3x3x2.25 inches) , 8 rectangles (2.25x0.5 inches) .
Make sure:
2 sides of Triangle = = side of Square
&
Smaller side of the Triangle = = longer side of Rectangle
Now stick the pieces (squares and triangles ) using cello tape, as in picture and also stick rectangles with each smaller side of the Triangle
Create any simple Kirigami design, so that the light can pass through. As a variation you can also stick colorful transparent sheets on one side after cutting, so that the light is of different color
Stick the sides to make a hexagonal shape.Cut the multiple color frills using special paper scissor , stick them to the bottom of the Kandiil.
Make a hole on all top side Rectangles for the rope. and rope or wire, so that it can be fixed onto a bulb.
KANDIIL is ready.....
If any one tries it out.... please post the photos.
