Yes, the Jewish New Year, Rosh HaShana starts tomorrow night, but there is still time to squeeze in a few last minute Rosh HaShana cards, even if you don't give them until after the holiday, which is just fine too! The 10 days betweeen Rosh HaShana and Yom Kippur is also a time when we continue to wish people a "Shanah tovah" and there is also a blessing about being "sealed in the book of life" so the feather together with the pomegranite, well, it is quite perfect, since the pomegranate is a symbol for Rosh HaShana! And of course, you could also use feathers and pomegranates as succah decor, so the more the better! Need some tips to make you own? Keep on reading.......
You'll Need:
- watercolor paper
- watercolors
- watercolor brushes
- scissors
How To:
Make a stencil for the pomegranate by drawing a pomegranate on a piece of paper and then cutting it out perfectly. Put the base paper in a cardboard box, put the stencil on top, swish your brush in paint and then tap with a second brush, on the handle, to make splatter. Keep doing this until the shape is filled, you can always add a few more dots with a paint brush if needed.
Got it? Now go paint some watercolor feathers and splatter some paint over a stencil, as simple as that. Ah yes, and do glue down that feather, yet to happen here!
