GO GREEN, GO DIVINE – DIY THAMBOOLAM BAG WITH OLD NEWSPAPER

(NAVARATRI ACTIVITY FOR BALVIKAS STUDENTS)

During Navaratri, giving Thamboolam is our tradition and calls for a small bag to keep the Haldi, kumkum, betel leaves, gift etc in, compactly. Keeping the environment in mind, the trend now is to go for bio degradable bags replacing plastic bags. Here is a video that shows how to make a Thamboolam bag with old newspapers.

A good picture speaks a thousand words and also reflects the feelings of the person. It adds to the beauty and elegance of the hand crafted bag. Here, having ‘Sai Maa’ in the centre of the bag gives out the message of ‘Love’ and teaches children to handle the bag with care!

This Navratri, let us show our Love to Mother Earth by making useful things out of waste!
