Step 2
Take the diyas out of the container one by one and without letting them dry, make a hole in each of them by swirling the screw/nail through them. This task demands patience. Because the diyas are wet and moist, it is easier and the diyas would not break which would have been the case if we used a drilling machine or hammer. After piercing the diyas, let them dry.

Step 3
The fun part begins now .You can decorate these diyas as you like it. Paint them, wrap them with wool, moli and put fancy stones and shiny sequins. Make fun patterns and designs Once you are done with the decorating part, let the diyas be for a while so that the decoration settles and doesn’t come down while further working on the diyas.
