Happy Hanukkah

The Festival of Lights Holiday Ideas

By Donna Smith

Pages:  1  2  3  

Penny Warner suggests a new way to enjoy the timeless tradition of the Menorah. "You will love wearing this Menorah candle necklace during Hanukkah," she says. "Add one charm each day, just as you light a candle each night."

A Menorah candle necklace is simple to make and requires minimal adult supervision. The materials required are already in the kitchen and kids will love the excitement this simple, affordable idea will bring to the celebration.

You'll need:
4 cups flour
1 cup salt
1 3/4 cups water
Ribbon or chain
Paper clips
Tin foil
Cookie sheet
Oven, preheated at 250 degrees F
Acrylic paints and paintbrushes or permanent markers

 

Here's what to do:
1. Make baker's clay by combining the flour, salt and water and kneading it until well mixed.

2. Make eight candle charms with the baker's clay. Stick a paper clip into the top of each charm so it can later be attached to the necklace.

3. Place the baker's clay charms onto a tin-foil-lined cookie sheet and bake for one to two hours (until firm). Allow to cool.

4. Paint or color the charms.

5. Slip one charm onto the ribbon or chain necklace each day of the holiday until you have all eight charms on at the last day.
