A Quick Accordian Folded Paper Flower For The Succah!
If I am sharing succah crafts with you right now, namely decorations that are currently hanging in my succah, that must mean the Jewish holiday of Succot is quickly approaching. And yes indeed, one of my favorite holidays, that also happens to be seven days long, starts tomorrow night, so time is of the essence! While I had thought I’d be ready days ahead, hmmm, that didn’t quite happen as I was waiting for inspiration to strike with something new, and it did, PHEW, only I once again find myself crafting in the wee hours of the morning the night before the holiday, sigh! Lest I digress, if you happen to need some quick succah decorations right NOW, paper accordian folded flowers look great and are quick, plus you can make them in a variety of sizes, and voila, a whole wall of decorations is born! I’ll admit, I didn’t make the gold accordian folded flower/star this year, and in fact I’m not sure how many years ago this was made, the miracle was that I packed them away nicely and somehow a box full of them surfaced this year when my son combed the attic!
I do hope to share photos of the entire succah with you next week, so stay tuned for that, and keep on reading to find out how to make even just one gorgeous gold flower!
You’ll Need:
- metallic gold card stock, huge newspaper sized sheets preferably
- a stapler or needle and thread
- my accordian folded paper star/flower tutorial, here.
- a tutorial for making simple according folded medallions, here.
These decorations above were made ten years ago, though I’m happy to say they still look cute as can be, though I do love the gold for the succah.
Okay, gotta run, my nearly complete succah awaits, but there is a bunch of hot glue and some old unsuccessful acrylic paintings on paper that need to be transformed, and shared with you, not to worry! (assuming things go as planned…….)
