5 DIY Home Decor Ideas For 79th Independence Day of India

Patriotic Candle Holders: Celebrating Solidarity

Make your home shine with these home decor candle holders, with function and festivity! Candles are the symbol of the eternal flame of freedom. When using them in holiday decoration with tricolor themes, they can set a warm and friendly environment that is great for any evening prayers or dinners. This idea is unique as it incorporates natural products like leaves. Most of the products on this list are organic, and reflect India's incredible biodiversity.

Materials Required:

• 3-5 glass jars or old tumblers
• Acrylic paints (saffron, white, green, blue)
• Tiny or small candles (tea lights)
• Twine or ribbon (optional)
• fresh leaves or printed flag motifs

How to make the candle holders:

1. Paint the jars in vertical stripes so they look like the flag: saffron, white (with blue chakra), and green.
2. Once the jars are dry (approx 10-15 minutes), wrap the twine around each jar's neck to form a grip.
3. Once complete, use glue to attach leaves or flag motifs around the white section for texture.
4. Place the tea lights in each jar and arrange on a shelf or family-friendly table.
5. Now that you have the holders decorated, you can light them when you are listening to the national anthem, which can be a meaningful ritual.
6. Safety tip: If you have kids around, I would recommend using battery-operated candles instead of small open flames.

Time: 45 minutes.
