How we made the Menorah Window

You can see the steps below we use to make the window menorahs. It is a great Hanukkah craft to make.

Building the Base of the Menorah

Placed the base of the menorah first in the middle of the paper at the bottom.

Then we played the row where the candles will sit. You can see how well the white paper show sup on the black paper.

Placing the Candles on the Menorah

We placed in the middle the spot for the shamash candle to sit and put the shamash candle on.

Then we placed the 8 candles on the Menorah.

We put the flames on the top of the candles.

Making the Window with Plastic Wrap

The pictures were laid face down on plastic wrap. You want it so that you don’t see the Menorah that you just made.

Glue was placed on the black paper and wrap folded in. You can see how it sticks to the glue on the paper.

What it looks like after covered. You can see it has a window like look to the craft.

Making the Window Frame

We placed the three long brown strips of paper: top, middle, and bottom. You can see how they build the different parts of a window

We placed the three short brown strips of paper: on the right and left sides and middle. This finishes off the window as they make it.
