Hanukkah Menorah
This Easy Hanukkah Menorah Craft is perfect for kids and adults alike. Whether you’re looking to add a splash of handmade charm to your Hanukkah décor or need a fun holiday activity to keep little hands busy, this craft hits all the right notes. It’s simple, adorable, and a delightful way to create holiday memories together.
Materials
- Blue craft paper (or any color you like for the candle rolls)
- Yellow and orange craft paper (for the flames)
- Cardboard box (a shoebox works perfectly)
- Scissors
- Glue (stick or liquid, whatever you prefer)
- Wooden skewers or toothpicks (to attach the flames)
- Pencil
- Ruler (optional, but helpful for clean lines)
Instructions
- Roll the Candles: Start by cutting the blue craft paper into rectangles.
Each piece will form one candle. Roll each rectangle tightly into a tube and secure it with glue along the edge
. Make nine candles in total, with one slightly taller for the shamash (helper candle).
- Create the Flames: On the yellow and orange craft paper, draw and cut out small flame shapes. Layer the orange flame on top of the yellow one and glue them together for a layered, glowing effect.
- Attach the Flames: Glue each flame onto the end of a wooden skewer or toothpick. Leave a little stick exposed so you can easily insert it into the candles later.
- Build the Menorah Base: Take your cardboard box and decorate it if desired. Then, glue or place your rolled candles side by side inside the box. Position the shamash candle in the center, standing slightly taller than the rest.
