Tools and materials
- Pistachio shells
- Cardboard
- Gold spray paint
- White glue
- Tea light candles
- Fairy lights
- Scissors

Step One: Wash the shells
Once you’ve enjoyed the tasty nuts inside, give the shells a good wash to clean off any remaining salt or residue.
Step Two: Make the diya base
Next, grab a piece of cardboard and decide how big you want your diya to be. This will serve as the base for your creation.
Step Three: Paint the shells
Once you've determined the size, spray paint the shells with a coat of gold spray paint. This will give your diya a luxurious and festive look. Let the shells dry completely.
Step Four: Place the pistachio shells
Using white glue, start arranging the pistachio shells in a beautiful design on the cardboard.
Get creative with your patterns and arrangements to make your diya truly unique. Let the glue dry completely before moving on to the next step.
Step Five: Decorate your diya
Once the glue has dried, place a tea light in the center of your pistachio shell arrangement. You can also add a touch of sparkle by placing fairy lights around the diya. This will enhance the festive ambiance of your decoration and make it shine even brighter.
