Start making small accordion style folds along its longer edge. Miss P used a mini craft stick to hold and measure each fold. If you have a scorer, measure and score each card and then it gets easier for younger kids to fold.

We cut out a 3-inch strip from our paper tape and stuck half of the tape on one side. Carefully bring the other end together and stick the two ends together as shown. Fold the excess tape at the back. accordion-fold-diwali-diya-1 Repeat the same step to make multi-colored Diya shaped folds. Miss P wanted  one in each rainbow color, but I had run out of matching colored papers. You could make them all in one color or two tones. They will all look pretty darn cute!

Cut out a flame shape piece from an orange corrugated paper. You could use any paper. Even gold would look awesome. We added some accents to it with a red marker and some glitter. We also had some pretty sequin stickers that we lined each paper diya and they looked pretty festive and bright.
