DIY Felt Hanukkah Mug Cozies With Felted Designs
p> These fun felted mug cozies that I made for Hanukkah last year are nicely packed away, take up very little space and will instantly announce that Hanukkah is coming as soon as I start covering some of our mugs! Gotta love it……so run, don’t walk, and get yourself some wool felt and get crafting! Wool felt is a truly wonderful material available in a nice range of luscious rich colors, can be purchased in 12″x12″ squares, and since it doesn’t unravel, you can craft away to your heart’s content without the need for glue or sewing, if you so desire. This DIY felt mug cozy is quick and would…

Rebuilding The Beit HaMikdash Recycling Craft For Kids
I have pulled this post from the archives, as it is one of my favorites for The Three Weeks. Today is the 17th of Tammuz, a solemn fast day on the Jewish calender, and certainly a perfect time to work on my “Rebuilding the Beit HaMikdash” recycling craft with kids of all ages! Of course one could certainly use this idea to also learn about the Kotel (The Wailing Wall) which stands today and was one of the outer walls of the courtyard of the Beit HaMikdash. Starting today, we enter a period of mourning for the next three weeks— mourning for the destruction of the Beit HaMikdash, the Holy…

DIY Striped Candles Are The Perfect Summer Craft!
Remember making candles at summer camp? I sure do, especially the ones we made at the beach in milk cartons! Candle making can be on the messy side, but is a perfect craft to do especially when you have a few hours on a lazy summer afternoon, and a bunch of kids (or kids at heart) in need of some creative fun! The candles you see here were actually made by some of my students in a candle making workshop for which I was the substitute teacher. Unfortunately I did not have the time to take photos of all the projects as my students stayed for two hours rather than…

DIY Paper Top Is The Perfect Hanukkah Craft!
This evening we lit the 7th cup of oil on our Hanukkah menorah, and that means that there are still two full days of Hanukkah, and certainly time to squeeze in one last activity that everyone is sure to enjoy: DIY spinning tops made from strips of paper and toothpicks! These tops might be little, but they sure do spin, and if made correctly, they can spin for quite a long time. And whether of not they spin well, they sure are great looking! So get out the simple supplies and have a little crafting fest to end Hanukkah on a creative note! Ready, let’s get spinning!
