Independence Day is around the corner and the country will soon dress in the colours of tricolours. From schools, colleges, offices to other institutions, everything gets a sprinkle of our national flag denoting the day we got independence from the Britishers and how high we hold our tricolour. Independence Day is marked with the hoisting of the national flag and singing of the national anthem. Various competitions, events and programs are also held on the day for both children and adults. People draw rangolis in the colour of saffron, white and green beautifully outside housing societies and offices.

With schools observing the national festival on a large scale, children are quite enthusiastic to celebrate the day. They decorate their every possession from bicycles, pencil boxes, their rooms, desk and what not. Then why not help them with some projects using their ideas. These DIY (Do It Yourself)videos are not only simple but you can also indulge your child in a little craft making. And as the day approaches, we have assembled a few DIY videos using which you can add a tricolour touch at home or in office. 15th August: Not Only India, These Countries Too Celebrate Their Independence Day on This Date
