How to make artificial toran at home

How to make OHP sheet toran at home for Diwali
What we need

OHP sheet and butter paper
3D glitter
Glass colour
Fancy lace
Fabric glue
Craft trinkets ( pearl chain )

Note:  After using glass colours or 3D glitter or fabric glue allow 10 minutes to pass so that the toran element dries completely

This toran can be a fancy decoration for these festivals . Also in  USA and  UK where we get real mango leaves but the price may be on  the higher side ,  we can  make this mango leaf  thoranam to symbolically represent the décor. 

 Mango leaf thoranams are associated with auspicious occasions and  festivals
