Diwali Door Hanging

At Diwali it is traditional to hang an embroidered door hanging, or toran,
above doorways to welcome visitors and hopefully the Goddess of Fortune
Lakshmi to your home. Make your own simple
version from paper with the help of our printables.
You will need: Printable pages - or your own
version
Colouring pencils and pens Instructions:
Print out three copies of your chosen "band" design (or our blank
template, if you would like to do your own design) and colour them in. Print
out three "drops" and again colour these in. The hangings are usually
symmetrical. Cut out the three bands and tape them
together along the back so they form one length. Cut out the drops and tape
these along the bottom of the band as in the photo above.
Use sticky tack to stick the banner to the top of your door
frame. Blank
