Good forDay 1Day 4
Make a lightweight Navratri wall hanging with a fabric-covered cardboard base and a simple kalash motif. Keep the hanging compact so the decorative bells and tassels do not pull it out of shape. Adults should handle sharp tools and installation, and the finished piece should stay away from flame and moisture.

🛠️ Step-by-step guide
5 simple steps
Cut base shape
Draw a compact arched medallion on sturdy cardboard, then cut it out carefully. Ask an adult to handle the craft knife if the board is thick.
Wrap in festive fabric
Cover the front with red fabric, fold the excess neatly around the edges, and glue it only on the reverse for a clean face.
Build the kalash motif
Cut a simple teal kalash, leaves and coconut from fabric or card. Centre the motif, glue it flat, then frame it with gota, beads and rounded mirror accents.
String bells & tassels
Make three evenly spaced holes along the lower edge. Thread one short tassel and lightweight bell through each hole, then secure every knot on the back.
Hang and balance it
Fasten a doubled ribbon loop through the top, tug-test it, and hang the piece on a secure load-rated hook. Adjust the loop until the medallion sits level.
Plan ahead
Assemble before the festival and allow glue to dry fully. Check the loop and knots before hanging, then store flat with loose decorations supported after use.
Common questions
How do I stop a wall hanging sagging?
Use a compact base, lightweight embellishments and balanced tassels. Reinforce the hanging loop and check the support is suitable for its weight.
Can I make it without bells or mirror pieces?
Yes. Fabric tassels and paper motifs create the same layered look with less weight and fewer small parts.
