Hanukkah Watercolor Lantern – Jewish Crafts

December 7, 2015 By punktorah

These lovely lanterns are sure to brighten up your house on a dark Winter night. They are easy for little ones to make and the result is beautiful.

You will need:

White paper
Glitter glue, sequins, markers and any other decorations you might like to use
Some olive oil
An iron
Watercolour paints
Paintbrushes
An empty glass jar
A battery operated tealight

Start by painting the whole piece of paper. We decided to paint our paper blue, but you can pick a different colour or even use multiple colours, too.

Let your paper dry. When it has dried use a cloth or paintbrush to paint the entire paper with olive oil. This will make your paper see-through.

Place your paper between two tea towels and iron it on a low setting to remove any excess oil. This is a step for the grown-ups, so please mind little fingers!

When you have ironed your paper you can decorate it any way you like. We decided to draw some swirls and a Star of David onto our lantern.

Now just let your paper dry, wrap it around your glass jar and tape it in place.
Put in a battery operated tealight and enjoy your beautiful lantern!

Happy Hanukkah!
