Diwali Craft Templates coloring pages FAQ
How do I make the Diwali paper lantern?
Color the lantern template, fold it in half the long way, cut along the dotted lines, unfold, roll it into a tube and glue the edge. Glue the handle strip across the top.
How do I make an akash kandil?
Color and cut out both stars on the akash kandil template, glue them back to back with paper tassel strips at the bottom, and hang it in a window.
Which craft is best for toddlers?
The handprint diya craft and the cut and paste diya are made for little hands. The placemat is also easy to color.
Is there Diwali bunting?
Yes. There is a sheet of six picture flags and a sheet of letter flags that spell DIWALI. Fold the top tab over a string and glue.
Should I print on card stock?
Card stock works best for door hangers, bookmarks and the kandil. Plain paper is fine for the bunting, placemat and paper lantern.
