Hanukkah decoration 1

Yoday I have been working on a Hanukkah wall decoration.

On Saturday we have a family gathering and I want 

to make something special. I will share in two parts what 

I am making. I started with painting a wooden slat

and 9 wooden pegs. When the paint was dry I glued the

pegs onto the slat. The middle peg a bit higher

then the others.

Next i took this punch to make the candles out of white

paper and I stamped the smalles element of Michael Strong's

paisley stamp with orange on yellow paper. 

On the candlesi used a little blue ink around the edges

before glueing them to the peg. From the paisley shape

I used only one complete one for the middle candle.

For all the others I cut out the middle part of the paisley

shape and glued themall to the candle.

To finish this i stamped the Happy Hanukkah (SU!)

four times and also glued these on the pegs.

The finishing touch are a few Jolee david stars 

that were still in my drawer. They make it all sparkle.

Ifyou click on the picture,you see a larger version and

you will notice the little metal eye ont the far left and 

right on the slat. This is to make it hang on the wall.

Here a close up.

Now it is hanging on my wall with streamers hanging

down from the pegs. On the streamers there will be some

more decorations, but that will have to wait  for another day.

Happy 3rd day of Hanukkah!

Have a creative day!
