The ultimate list of 15+ DIY Diwali card ideas for kids to make
Diya – The lighted oil lamp is central to every Diwali celebration.
No wonder that the most popular Diwali card making ideas
will have at least one diya figuring in them.
We made this gorgeous Diwali card last year using paper scraps that we had lying at home..
Its a super easy Diwali card making idea for kids to make.
Another Diya card we loved used OHP sheets & glass colours. How gorgeous does that look!!
Lil p is in love with paper quilling these days. How adorably cute and simple is this Diwali card.
You can make it like the one shown above or make a 3 fold card and ask your child to paint a Diwali diya and anchor it in between.
Love Glitter?? use some glitter foam to keep the cleaning to a minimum.
Handmade paper & a paper doily does a pretty card make.
Diwali also means firecrackers – Patakas
Our foam pataka cards were a BIG hit last year ..
Make the crackers by rolling red colour papers, two and a half centimeter longs into tight coils to form this real looking pataka ladi card ( string cracker)
Have glitter tape, make this Diwali card in a jiffy.
Use some twine to make some real looking Bhoomi chakras on your diwali card.
The Aakash butti or the paper lantern is hung outside homes to invite Godess lakshmi into our homes..
Why not send a card with an aakash kandil on top of it?
We made a foam lantern for our door.. the same idea will work well on a card too.
Simple quilled cards

Yup. Those are my favorite too this year. 🙂
Do you accept diwali links from everyone or is it only for blog hop blogs..I had added 2 links and they were removed without any comments. .I linked it from while in office. .so did not get a chance to link back to this..but I expected some communication if its not allowed. .bit disappointing for a regular reader 🙁
Hey lavina 🙂 Link up in the user submissions please 🙂
Loved the ideas Shruti.. Specially because there are lots of ideas for my son too not just ‘pretty’ stuff as he puts ít. The chakri card is his fav.
