A Giant Paper Chain For The Succah!
Paper chains are traditional succah decor around here, and my kids love making them. Infact they surprised me with this one last night after I came home from running some errands, and I just love that it’s big and chunky as opposed to some of the more delicate chains they’ve made in the past. Now,…

Aren’t these lovely ornaments? Take a closer look, they’re large earrings! Last year I made decorations from bracelets, so it’s only fitting that this year I’ll somehow put to use these earrings!

Aren’t these cute? I sat down at my dining room table with a bunch of colored circles, and this is one of the festive ideas I came up with.

Make Interesting (Succah) Decorations From Crocheted Bracelets?
What is it you ask? Well…….I was having so much fun crocheting around bracelets that I made a decorative piece that has yet to find it’s final purpose. I may hang these small mirrors in each circle and use the piece in the Succah, or add some crocheted flowers here and there, or……….?. In any…
