How to Make<\/strong><\/p>\n

Step One: <\/strong>Make the candlesticks:\u00a0Print candlestick and flame templates\u00a0on white card stock and cut using scissors or a\u00a0crafting knife.<\/span><\/p>\n

Step Two:\u00a0<\/strong>Apply double sided tape or a glue stick along white tab on one candlestick rectangle and roll to create a tube. Repeat with other 8\u00a0candlesticks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Step Three:\u00a0<\/strong>Make the base: Cut out a piece of cardboard and blue\u00a0paper, 13×3″ each. Glue paper to cardboard. Allow to dry.<\/p>\n

Step Four:\u00a0<\/strong>With a ruler, find the center of the base, mark with a pencil.<\/span><\/p>\n

Step Five:\u00a0<\/strong>Pour a quarter size blob of white glue into a small dish. Dip tallest\u00a0tube into the glue, applying glue to bottom edge.\u00a0<\/span>Stick tube to center of menorah base.\u00a0<\/span>Repeat with shorter\u00a0tubes, placing four tubes evenly spaced on either\u00a0sides of center tube.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Step Six:\u00a0<\/strong>Make the flames:\u00a0Cut 8 dowels to 7″ tall and 1 dowel to 8″ tall.\u00a0Using white glue and a paint brush, sandwich one dowel\u00a0between a yellow and orange\u00a0paper flame, centering dowel\u00a0on the yellow flame. Repeat to create 9 flames. Allow to\u00a0dry.<\/span><\/p>\n

Step Seven: <\/strong>Make sure your\u00a0kinderlach <\/em>(children) are with you for this part: Place tallest flame–the shamash<\/em>–in the middle candlestick. Then, place\u00a0flames\u00a0into candlesticks\u00a0of Menorah one by one, starting on the right side. Start with a single flame and add one more for each night of Hanukkah. <\/span><\/p>\n
