Every year, Independence Day is celebrated with much enthusiasm and patriotic fervour across the country. On this day, people remember those brave freedom fighters who sacrificed their lives to bring independence to India after over two centuries of British rule.
It is a day when we remember the heroes of our country and hoist the national flag at home and office. People also decorate their homes on this special day to express their love for the nation. If you too want to decorate your home and are looking for DIY ideas, then your search ends here. Here are some of the best DIY decoration ideas for your home.
1. Tri-coloured paper flags
The spirit of Independence Day is best reflected by the Indian flag. The demand for small tri-coloured paper flags to hang in the house skyrockets during this time. One can easily decorate their home with a homemade tri-coloured flag. All you need is some white paper, coloured pens (saffron, white and green) and a few wooden sticks. Cut the paper into a rectangular shape, fill it with tri-coloured strips and attach it to the sticks as well. These flags can be used to decorate bookshelves, flower pots or even tables.
2. Patriotic pennants and garlands
Pennants and garlands are decorative items that can add tremendous value to any room. Choose red, white and blue fabric or paper pennants to hang over mantels, windows or doors. To emphasize the patriotic theme, you can opt for garlands with stars and stripes that emphasize the patriotic theme. To create an interesting look, combine different textures such as fabric and paper for layers.
3. Tri-color handprint art
Another great DIY Independence Day artwork is a fun and personal craft that kids love. For the three-color handprint version, paint one hand in saffron and the other in green and have the kids press their hands on a large white sheet of paper. Add a blue circle in the center to represent Ashoka Chakra. The artwork can be framed and displayed as a unique Independence Day decoration.
4. Patriotic Centerpieces
Create a great centerpiece for your dining or coffee table. Use red, white and green flowers or arrange candles in patriotic order to create a more dynamic centerpiece and add a flag-themed cake stand or tiered tray.
5. DIY Patriotic Wall Art
You can add a personal touch to your home with homemade patriotic wall art. Create canvas prints or framed posters with inspirational quotes. You can use stencils to paint stars and stripes directly onto your walls or canvas. You can add old maps or historical images for a personalized, unique look.
