Chanukah Crafts

  • The Cutest Ever Hanukkah Gift Wrap!

    I can’t tell you why exactly, but this Hanukkah gift wrap makes my heart sing! I think it’s the combination of colors, the bold shapes, and the aqua and red, that I’m just in love with at the moment, and not to mention the cuteness of the pom pom…..oh and to top it off, this…

  • A Hanukkah Crocheted Border Bunting Banner!

    If you really don’t care for vintage-kitsch-inspired crafting, so just avert your eyes now and continue on your merry way. But, if you’re like me, and love to try your hand at bringing some of those crafts from the past into the present, well my friends, feast your eyes! And really, if you haven’t started…

  • Hanukkah Kid’s Craft: A Glittery Menorah, With A Little Help From Mom!

    Guess what? Hanukkah is just one week away, so I’m posting the projects as I finish them in hopes that you’ll still have some time to join in on the fun. And I think we all need to give a big round of applause to my husband (and children) for their patience during this slightly…

  • An Etherial Hanukkah Garland/Bunting Banner With Eggshell Mosaic Stars!

    Ahhh, eggshell mosaics have found a place in my heart! And combined with color washed water color paper, well, the results are just simply wonderful! I’m starting to feel just a bit like an artist as opposed to a crafter, ha ha. And, while I’d love to show you how great this Hanukkah garland really…

  • A Simply Sweet DIY Hanukkah Menorah From Alphabet Blocks!

    Who would have thought? Well, me, that’s who!  Because despite being a bit stressed out about the upcoming holiday and my self-appointed task of bringing more Chanukah crafts to the world, there are apparently still some good ideas patiently waiting their turn! At least this one came to light before Chanukah right? I was thinking…

  • Make Gorgeous Party Favors With Recycled Tubes!

    Hi friends, been saving those tubes? I really hope so, because this little craft idea is so simple and looks absolutely stunning— to use as actual party favors or even for decoration! I love the look of European vintage party decorations, and someday I may even try my hand at making “crackers” (the tube shaped…

  • A Family Friendly Hanukkah Craft: Decorating Styrofoam Shapes With Sequins

      Look what we found in the attic! Yes, truly, these decorations are at least 7 years old….I made them with my older boys way back when, and they’re still looking good. I can’t say that I’d make something that looks even remotely similar to this now, using store bought foam Hanukkah shapes, but they’re…

  • Make A Fun Nesting Dreidels Mobile For Hanukkah!

    Isn’t this fun? I’m returning to my modern design roots for this one! I was after all rocked in an Eames rocking chair as a baby, so I do have a love for all things spare and colorful now and again, (when I’m not obsessed with all things Moroccan that is……)  and after seeing huge…

  • Make Hanukkah Gelt Bags From Tulle!

      Here’s a simple yet great looking way to make gelt bags or gift bags for Hannukah. Tulle obviously isn’t just for weddings right?

  • A Hanukkah Craft For Kids: Silhouettes With Torn Paper

    Today was a hectic day, and I ended up taking this photo of my eight year old daughter’s Hanukkah craft just as the sun was going down…but as it turns out, the lighting was just amazing, look at these colors! Though the subject matter in this work of art isn’t exactly clear (it’s a bowl…

  • Hanukkah Crafting: A Simple Batik Project For Kids With Glue Gel!

    Here’s a Hanukkah craft that you can do with the kids today, and use for years to come…..Use the simple technique of glue gel batik on old sheets or pillow cases, and make yourself a tablecloth, some holiday pillow covers, drawstring gift bags, cloth napkins….even some curtains would be great! And if you don’t sew,…

  • Crayon Resist DIY Hanukkah Gift Packaging & Gift Tags!

    A few weeks ago I was in need of a little mindless art project, you know something quick and easy, and that could of course work as a Hanukkah craft in some way….and then I remembered crayon resist! Ah yes, I could really get into a little doodling with crayons just about now. It’s so…
