Make your own salt-dough diya lamps for Diwali to bring light into your home.
During Diwali, or Festival of Lights, thousands of clay lights called dipas or diyas are made and lit to bring light during the darkest night of the year. Diwali signifies the celebration of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and good over evil. Make your own salt-dough diya lamps to place on windowsills and entryways to bring light into your home.

*Note: Do not use self-rising flour—it will cause the diyas to bubble or rise while baking.
