Best Navratri Decoration Ideas That You Can Do Yourself

1: Beautiful and Glittery Torans 

One of our favourite Navratri decor ideas for home is this beautiful toran. It is very easy to make and just requires a few things. All you need is old bangles, some decorative mirrors that you can easily get from any arts and crafts store near you, fabric (from an old saree), thread, and needle. 

Cut the fabric in a round shape and over the bangle. You can stitch the ends or just use hot glue to the ends. Then put some hot glue over the fabric-covered bangles and place mirror pieces one by one in a design of your choice. Do the same with all the bangles and then sew them to form a toran. Sew some flowers on the bottom side of your bangles and you are done. If you are stung by a creative bug after this, feel free to go crazy with pearls and beads. 

2: Flower Rangolis 

Our list of Navratri decoration ideas will be incomplete without this beautiful addition, that is flower rangolis. Just pick a few flowers of your choice and place them in desired shapes and designs to make beautiful no-sweat flower rangolis. 

This eco-friendly flower rangoli will not just add festive colours to your Navratri decorations, but can also be used later as fertiliser for plants. The best part is you can make them as big or as small as you like. 

3: No-Stand Easy Pooja Backdrop 

One of the most popular Navratri decoration tips is the beautiful pooja backdrop. However, for this one, you don’t have to pay thousands or bring in a decorator. You need a set of sticky hooks to hold the backdrop in place, a dupatta or saree, thick string, and some flower garlands. 

Roughly stitch the dupatta or saree like a curtain and hang it with the help of stick-on hooks. Open the flower garland and tie the ends. Now hang them on either side of the curtain or as desired and done. Your beautiful backdrop is ready. 

4: Go classic with alpona 

Give your decor a classic touch with beautiful and easy alpona designs. They are so effortless and easy to make and stay long until you decide to wash them away. You can paint beautiful designs that are easy to make. Best of all, this Navratri decoration idea is extremely pocket-friendly. Time to let the artist in you out. 

5: Add a pop of colours to your boring walls  

Decorating just the pooja room is not enough, every corner of your house should speak. And we have just the Navratri decor ideas for walls for you. Cut cardboard in squares or round or any shape you desire. Cover them with a piece of fabric from an old saree or a beautiful gift wrap paper in ethnic prints and done. That was pretty easy, right? 

If you like something extra, put them in a frame. It will transform your boring walls into art. 

6: Transform boring pooja stool 

Still, using the same pooja stool by placing a piece of plain coloured fabric? Time to revamp that and give it a more aesthetic look.  Are you ready? All you need are red, yellow, orange, and white poster colours, some chart papers, green crepe paper, a few half-metre-long wires, glue, and some pearls and beads, and cardboard.  

Cut the cardboard into 1 big and 2 slightly smaller circles. Cover one of each with white chart paper that is cut in the same size. Colour one side, which would be the centre of your flower as shown in the image. Cut chart paper in petal shapes in 3-4 different sizes. Colour them. Once dried, start pasting the bigger petals first. Place a small cut at the bottom of the smaller petals and slightly them to give a curved petal shape. Paste them. Now put a slightly bigger cut at the bottom of the small petals, stick the cut-ends and paste. Now fold the wires in the L-shape from one end and in J-shape from the other. Take all the wires together and twist them to form a branch, leaving 2-3 cm from the end. When both of your flowers are done, place the ends of the wires and put the other piece of cardboard to secure the wires. Now wrap the wire branch with green crepe paper. Place beautiful pearls or beads inside the flower and done. Isn’t this a great DIY? Picture for inspo given below.
