Diwali, known for its grandeur and luminosity, is a festival that sees homes across the country adorned with lights, colors, and various traditional elements. The objective of this workshop was to provide YFLO Kolkata members with creative and eco-friendly decorating ideas that could be easily replicated in their homes. The experts from Living Free, known for their sustainable and innovative design approaches, were the perfect guides for this endeavor.

The workshop began with an introduction to sustainable decoration practices. The experts emphasized the importance of using eco-friendly materials and minimizing waste, aligning with the growing global consciousness towards environmental sustainability. This approach resonated well with the members, who were eager to learn how they could contribute to a greener Diwali.

As the session progressed, members were taught a variety of decoration techniques. These ranged from creating elegant centrepieces for tables to designing intricate side decor that could enhance any corner of a room. The experts demonstrated how traditional elements like diyas, rangolis, and lanterns could be given a contemporary twist, making them not only visually appealing but also reflective of modern aesthetics.

One of the highlights of the workshop was the hands-on experience. Members were provided with a range of materials like recycled papers, natural fabrics, biodegradable ornaments, and LED lights. They were encouraged to experiment with these materials, combining them in various ways to create unique and personalized decor pieces. This hands-on approach was not only fun but also immensely fulfilling, as members saw their ideas come to life.

The workshop also included a segment on personalizing Diwali decor. Members learned how to incorporate personal elements into their decorations, making them more meaningful. This included using family photographs, heirloom pieces, and even handcrafted items to add a personal touch to the festive decor.
