|
Christmas Hanukkah and Kwanzaa Crafts are various wonderful Hanukkah and Kwanzaa craft times used for Christmas gifts and presents. Hanukkah is the Jewish festival of lights. Families gather around the Menorah to celebrate the miracle. The Menorah is a Jewish candelabrum with a tree-like shape. The Hanukkah Menorah has nine branches, one for each of the |
eight celebration nights, and the remaining one is used to light the other candles. Exquisite crafts display add special flavor to the Hanukkah celebration. The following are the two popular Hanukkah crafts:
Stained Glass Menorah - These are prepared from colorful pieces of cellophanes. They depict a stained glass look when hung from the window. In each night of Hanukkah a piece of orange tissue paper is taped to the menorah to represent the flame of candle.
Paper Driedel – At first the driedel template is printed onto cardstock printer paper. Then the driedel is folded and a straw is inserted on the hole.
Kwanzaa is a cultural celebration observed by the African-Americans. Kwanzaa was created to remind people of their African history, culture, and customs. It is based on regional harvest celebrations in Africa. During the seven days of Kwanzaa, people decorate their homes and wear clothes in traditional African colors - red, black and green. Red candles with black and green wire are the most wonderful Kwanzaa craft items. Another classical craft item is the Kinara Craft. Made of self- hardening clay and black green and red candles the Kinara is lighted on each night of Kwanzaa.
