I know, some of you are wondering when I’ll start posting crafts for Pesach! With only one month between Purim and Pesach, well it’s a bit of a tight schedule when it comes to crafting especially in light of the fact that there’s so much work to do in the house. But since I really do take my position as self appointed creativejewishmom, I’m forcing myself to spend a bit of time coming up with some fun projects for Pesach!
I don’t have anything yet to show but I thought I’d give you a basic list of what’s in store so that you can be sure to have everything you might need on hand. This is just the projects for next week, there may be some more last minute sewing projects like afikomen bags, a matza cover and possibly some felt food (I may be dreaming as far as that goes!) so don’t pack away all your fabric in the attic, leave a few pieces in a reachable spot!
Top Left: Crafting With Heavy Weight Aluminum Foil:
You’ll Need:
- heavy weight aluminum foil or aluminum baking pans
- permanent markers in bright colors
Top Right: Frogs frogs and more frogs: a few projects
You’ll Need:
- fimo in green, yellow and red, and/or modeling clay in these colors
- green 1″ or bigger craft pompoms and green and red pipe cleaners, googly eyes 1/4″ or bigger, and small pieces of green felt
Bottom Left: Kriyas Yom Suf (Splitting of the Red Sea) Project
You’ll Need:
- several shades of blue tissue paper, silver glitter glue
- white or light colored cardboard or heavy weight paper that you’ll mount onto cardboard
Bottom Right: Paint Gorgeous Wine Glasses for the Seder!
You’ll Need:
- cheap wine glasses, and especially some imitation crystal ones
- glass paint: acrylic for kids, oil based for adults
- electrical tape and a dense sponge (like a makeup sponge or miracle cleaning sponge)
Okay, now that I’ve got this out of the way, I’ve got to go make some decorations for a birthday party! I don’t think my son will understand that just because he was born 2 weeks before Pesach his birthday should be any less than those during the year! And he’s right so wish me luck!
