THINGS THAT YOU NEED:

Thermocol sheet or Cardboard
Spoons
Fabric Paint
Brush
Glue Gun
Golden foam sheet
Decorative items
Cutter

Steps

First choose a measurement for your base circle of your choice.
Cut a circular base out of the thermocol (Polystyrene) or card board.
For the base you can also use waste CD Disk.

Trace the outline on the back side of foam sheet with the help of a pencil.
Cut it and stick it on the thermocol sheet.

After preparing the base for you diya holder, color the spoons with fabric color as it is best suitable for use with plastics.
Color four spoons with green color and the other four with orange (You can choose any color you like).
After you paint it, cut the above colored part.
Cutting the spoon after coloring allows you to have a perfect grip on the spoon while you paint it.

Next, take the thermocol base and stick the orange spoons upside down with the help of glue gun.
After sticking all the orange spoons upside down, stick green spoons between the orange ones.
When you are finished, you will get a holder like this.

To make it more attractive you can use various decorative products like half beads, mirrors, colorful beads or anything of you choice.
Here, I have used small white beads for orange spoons.

To avoid placing every single bead one by one, what you can do is, take all the required beads and put it through a thread with the help of a needle.
Remove the needle leaving long threads on both the sides of the beads.
Apply glue gun or fevi kwik on the spoon.
