I am already late in sharing the ideas, but these are some really very simple and last-minute Diwali DIY & Decor ideas. You can involve your family too and make the most of these holidays.
Crepe Paper Marigold Flowers:
I know you can’t keep any flower fresh and bright for long. That’s when we need faux flowers. Instructions to make crepe paper marigold flowers are given in the video. If you can’t get crepe paper, you can use colored tissue paper or paper ribbons. I learned this craft from my mom when I was little, and I still cherish those memories. Also, this is one of my favorite flower crafts.
I made them in great numbers and loved decorating my home with these paper marigolds.
Dried Branch Dining Table Centerpiece:
I love it when things are done differently and with some personal touches. And rather than indulging in splurges, I love to make things my own. That’s what I did when I threw a party at home. I created a beautiful dining table centerpiece that looked totally festive. I saw this beautiful string light somewhere, and when I found it online, I ordered it without a second thought. It is so awesome that I am using it in almost all my Diwali vignettes. The best thing is that it is an LED string light that comes in various lengths, and it is waterproof, so you can use it outside in the garden, in an aquarium and in an urn too. If you are intrigued, then click here to see and buy these string lights. Instructions on how to use it are given in the video, and below is the image.
Once the party was over, I gave a creative twist to the dried branch and placed it on the side table in my living room and what a festive ambiance it created in my living room. How did I do that, you ask? Well, you can see the steps in the video.

Now, this is the best thing I have ever tried, and no, this is not my idea. I found the inspiration on Pinterest and liked it instantly. All you need is some seashells, conchs, paraffin wax, wicks and ready-to-use glitter. You can watch the video to see the steps. Here I am sharing the images of these magical and oh so cool seashell & Conch candles.

Starting the "From My Blog'" series and the first category is "Home Tours". Sharing today Shalu Prasad's traditional and tranquil south Indian home in Bengaluru, Karnataka which was the first home that I featured on my blog and is my favourite. Shalu is a self-taught artist and a homemaker, with a keen eye for fine, ethnic art and has the intrinsic ability to convert a plain house into a tasteful warm, earthy place to call a “home”. It's a home filled with character, vibrancy, and a visual treat.

January ki yaadon ka pitara. The very first day of the new year began with lots of fun and adventurous activities. It felt like reliving my childhood, filling me with positive energy and enthusiasm. The second week of the month brought an opportunity I had never even dreamt of. My son's hard work earned us the chance to attend a prestigious and memorable event in New Delhi, celebrating the 150th foundation day of the India Meteorological Department. The highlight of the event was the presence of the Honourable Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi. Another unforgettable moment was exploring Bharat Mandapam and admiring its grandeur. Though Delhi was freezing cold at the time, and I faced some health issues, overall, it was an incredible trip. The last week of January was spent at home, relaxing and enjoying my favorite activities—painting and upcycling. Mold had ruined my sneakers, so I painted them, giving them a new lease on life. That sums up my eventful January. Now, I am ready to create beautiful and cherished memories in February! #January #januaryroundup #memories #instagood
2024 has been an eventful year! I'm looking forward to learning more skills in 2025. In 2000, I was in an accident while driving my father's car and developed amaxophobia. I couldn’t drive after that, no matter how hard I tried. This year, I was determined and adamant about overcoming this fear. And yes, I did it! :) I was so busy with work and family that I couldn’t find time for my hobbies. But this year, I resolved to prioritize myself and revisit my hobbies. I learned watercolor and plein air painting—and yes, I did it! :) Learning new skills is my favorite thing to do, and 2024 was no different. I not only learned bookbinding and created many sketchbooks and journals, but I also experimented with different binding styles. Yes, I did it! :) It’s not just about learning new skills—I strive to perfect them. This year, I mastered candle-making and even created an informative course on it. I’m proud to share that some of my learners now run their own small candle-making businesses. Yes, I did it! :) I want to learn as many languages as I can in this lifetime. I’ve been learning a language for the past two years, but this year, I made considerable progress. All thanks to @duolingo and @duolingo_india, it was so convenient to learn a new language from the comfort of my home, anytime I wanted. Yes, I did it! :) By the way, can you guess which language I learned? Wishing you all a very Happy 2025! May the new year bring you growth, learning, and achievements. English translation of the slide 9 Hi, I am Disha. I love learning new skills. This year I learned a little bit of french. So, I will sing a french song, let me know how it was. Swipe to listen to the song. Slide 10 song - La vie en rose #2024 #2025 #achievements #learnings #NewYear #recap2024 #newskills
