Moreover, the spotlights added to these shelves assist in creating a mystic charm. I also decided to go for a brown color folk art on it to give it a better look. So, I starched and ironed a piece of white cloth and wrapped up the cardboard boxes for the roof. Then using fabric color I painted the borders and a few patterns. Temples in India usually have a banner or a flag.

This is how I have completed the framing part. And now on the most top portion, I made it a temple top structure like a flower petal. But when you are doing this part just take a half-centimeter gap from the top edge. I provided illumination using Christmas lights. I tried 2 ways - on the floor and on the wall.

Then I colored the middle part with white acrylic color. At this stage, you can not handle the stickiness of the clay, so to prevent the stickiness, I am using talcum powder here.

Introduction: DIY Cardboard Wall Hanging
Let it dry now and it's ready to decorate then after. I have put some glass mirrors of small size here, only to enhance its beauty.

Ganpati templeIf you want to paint, then take care you give a good white base coat so the colors from the cardboard boxes wont show out. In India, temples usually have tapering roofs. To imitate this,I needed boxes of decreasing size in order, but of almost same height. After much deliberation I was finally set on the ones that will go on the roof. The boxes for the roof must be light card board.
But to color the dowel part, you need to put a sufficient amount of Gold acrylic color and cover fully with this color. Because we are taking the dowels as framing material, it should be colored as gold and covered fully. I simply took a piece of paper, it's not mandatory to take any specific paper sheet, You can take a normal kind of A4 or A3 size paper sheet.
Use your glue gun to attach the necessary pieces that should be there. You can use wallpaper on the body and the interior of the box. This Pooja is created using cardboard and there are several connections of light within it. It has an open door that shows the content of the ritual room.

The final outcome is really awesome, I hope you must like it. Now when all the colors got dried well, we have to apply varnish all over the cardboard bases as well as over the motifs. Now all the cardboard bases, as well as the motifs, are ready.
Hi Archana, I bought the stickers from dollar tree. The materials used are easily available in any craft store. Now straighten the flap and cut the foam board as per the dimensions. This is a straight forward wooden DIY Pooja Mandir. This can be easily carried around and it is made of cherry wood. First of all, build the top of the temple then make the basic structure.
On top, I laid out a fresh kitchen wipe that was bright orange in color. I thought this color would contrast the silver lamps and idols that were to go on top. A Happy Treat will use the information you provide on this form to be in touch with you and to provide updates and marketing.
