Step 1: Take a rectangular white cardstock paper. We used card paper of roughly 8x6 inches but you can use paper of any dimensions.

Step 2: Fold 1/3rd of the card paper along the longer side. For our 8"x 6" card paper, we folded around 2 inches.

Step 3: To make diya, cut out a semi-circular shape (~2 inches in diameter) from blue paper. Glue 3 diyas on the wider side of the card as shown.

Step 4: Decorate the diyas with small diamond shaped yellow paper cutting.
