Let’s Get Crafting For Lag B’Omer!
The Jewish holiday of Lag B’Omer is coming up in just another 9 days or so, so now is the time to get crafting for this festive holiday. It is true, I live in Lag Bomer central, just across the valley from Meron, the world headquarters of the holiday, so for us the holiday is truly significant as the whole world (literally) comes to us! For those living outside of Israel I have noticed that Lag B’Omer tends to be on the relaxed side, so my suggestion is to bring the level of this very holy holiday up a notch by investing in some crafts! Unlike other holidays when we may be really busy with food preparation and getting the house ready to receive countless guests, Lag B’Omer is the time for picnics and campfires and venturing into the forest so go easy on the food preparation and invest in the creativity! Here are a few crafts from the archives to get you started, and I hope to add a few more later in the week, so stay tuned!
My quilled paper bonfire craft is a great way to make a unique work of art and introduce the family to the art of quilling!
DIY Paper arrows are simple to make and look amazing, as a centerpiece in a vase or even sticking out of a cake or a watermelon!
Recycled cardboard tube logs are fun way to make a bonfire……(didn’t get there yet myself) is to make some faux logs from cardboard tubes and then add paper flames. With or without the flames, these logs are adorable.
I made this kid’s lag b’omer bonfire craft with my kids years ago, and stlll love it. Give your kids a bunch of recyclables and some twigs and see what they come up with!
