Stick the Tissue Paper

Take an A3 size OHP sheet. Place tissue paper over it and apply a thick layer of tissue paper using a mixture of Fevicol MR and water, spreading it evenly with fine art brushes.

Create the Layers

Once the tissue paper layer has dried completely, peel it off from the OHP sheet. Cut this sheet into three rectangles of descending sizes. Draw the diagram of bonfire flames on these rectangles using a pencil.

Paint the Flames

Paint the drawn flames using Rangeela Tempera Colours of your choice (such as yellows, oranges, and reds) with fine art brushes, and let them dry

Assemble the Flame Cutouts

Assemble the flame cutouts together in a layered manner using Fevicol MR and allow them to dry.

Form the Structure

Roll the assembled flame sheet and seal the edges together using Fevicol MR to form a cylindrical structure

Create the Base

Take a piece of corrugated sheet and draw a circle proportionate to the base of your cylindrical flame structure. Carefully cut out the circular corrugated base using scissors.

Stick the Twigs

Stick your twigs vertically onto the corrugated base using Fevicol MR to mimic the bonfire wooden structure and let it dry completely.

Assemble all the Layers

Stick the cylindrical tissue paper flame structure onto the top of the twigs using Fevicol MR, making sure it is secure, and let it dry.

Place the Light

Insert the battery-operated fairy lights inside the cylindrical flame structure
