Friends, it is time to get crafting for Chanukah, and I recommend this festive and simple origami dreidel craft, it is truly wonderful! While I made these, my 8 year old plus boy crafting students made and decorated these with ease! And of course if neutral colors are more up your alley, so make them from brown kraft paper (not to self!) or metallic paper. However you choose to make them, make a bunch and get decorating, the simplest thing being to clip them onto a string with mini clothes pins, either hung horizontally or vertically, and voila the house is already starting to look like Chanukah! Ready, lets get to it!
You'll Need:
- my simple origami dreidel tutorial
- colored paper, card stock, printer weight, or origami weight, they all work, and for larger dreidels you can use a rectangular piece, not a square to get more length
- additional paper and/or paint pens to decorate the dreidels, i love just the paper
- a glue gun
Have fun and just saying, you could even make these out of starched fabric! Happy Chanukah crafting!
