    Is there a method to make a badly painted diya more attractive and beautiful?
    Community Answer
    Try painting on top of the design. I would recommend painting it a solid color on top of it and letting that dry. Then you can add your own design and spin to it. Don't forget that you can choose any design that you like!

    Can paint varnish be used on diya after decorating it?
    Community Answer
    Yes! Paint varnish would not only make the paint stay longer and brighter, but would also add a nice shiny gloss to top it off.
  • Question
    What is clear epoxy?
    Community Answer
    Clear epoxy, also known as "liquid glass" is a clear gloss. Like Mod Podge, you paint it on. It not only will make your diya shiny, but will also keep the paint from wearing off. Remember, you don't have to use clear epoxy to make your diya beautiful. You can also use Mod Podge or any paint finish, even clear nail polish would work.
