After eight joyful nights of Hanukkah, shining light into the very darkest corners, you might just have some leftover candles? (We light our main Chanukah menorah using olive oil, but use candles for some smaller chanukiahs.) Don't toss them, spend a few moments of pressure-free creativity, and create something with the drips. This of course is only with adult supervision, or for teens, and maybe even Mom or Dad could use a little creative time after a hectic week-plus of celebrations? (Don't worry about me, I know how to take that time when possible, you should see my kitchen table right about now......) So instead of trying to save those candles for next year, or tossing them, lets bring more light into the world through creativity!
This is just the very simplest drip craft one can make, courtesy of my teenage daughter, you can feel free to make many more drips and go to town! If you want to write or draw something, do that first, and maybe start on something on the small side if you'd like to make a drip mosaic, hmmm that sounds like fun!
Enjoy, and don't forget to include creativity in your everyday, it really does create light.
