1. Print diagram on good card stock paper and cut out. (These are now your template pieces.)
2. Trace the templates onto decorative papers.
3. Cut out decorative pieces.*
4. Glue pieces onto a greeting card.
5. Decorate your diya with sequins or arcylic gems.

*Gold foil works beautifully for the flame – it reflects the light.  Cut out a smaller flame in red foil to place inside the gold flame.
