Make a Shadow Candle Holder With Milk Carton

Decorate your house with something homemade this diwali. Collect the craft supplies, gather the kids and get ready to have some fun!

You need

1 Half Gallon Milk Carton

1 Craft Knife

1 Sharpie or Marker

A Ruler (*Optional )

1 Small Gift Wrap or Paint Color

Step by Step Guide:

Thoroughly wash an empty milk carton with soap and water.

Cut your milk carton in half with the help of a craft knife

Now draw Diya & lotus design or any other design on the four sides of the carton.

Carefully, cut these shapes out using a craft knife.

Now its time to decorate our Shadow Box.

I have decorated my box with some gift wrap paper, but you can also simply color it with a festive color.

If you decide to go with a gift wrap, make sure you mark and cut the shape holes for shadow boxes.

To do that simply place the inner side of gift wrap to the cutouts, draw and cut the sizes.

Now simply use some glue to stick to the box, while making sure you do no cover the cut out shapes.

Pro Tip: Once the glue dries, take a sandpaper and give a clean finish to the cutout edges.

Your Shadow Candle Holder is Ready!
