You can add a flame each Hanukkah night
And you won't need a match to make the candlelight
What You Need:
marker
ruler
yellow, dark blue, and white felt
scissors
12" x 18" blue poster board (or a piece of cardboard painted blue)
white glue
Velcro
hole punch
18" piece of cord or string
Directions:
Make the candles: Cut nine 3" x 1" candles from white felt.
Make the flames: Cut 9 flame shapes from yellow felt.
Make the candleholders: From the dark blue felt, cut eight 2" squares and one 3" x 2" rectangle for the bottom of the candles.
Assemble the menorah: Take the blue poster board and place it on a flat surface. Glue the dark blue felt candleholders along the lower edge by spacing them equally apart and placing the larger candleholder in the middle or at either end for the shammash.
Attach the candles: Glue a white felt candle above each holder.
Attach the Velcro: Cut 9 small! Velcro strips and glue 1 side above each candle. Glue the matching Velcro strip to the back of each yellow felt flame.
Attach the hanging cord: Punch 2 holes along the top of the poster board, close to either end. Tie the ends of the cord or string through the holes, and your menorah is ready for hanging.
Add a felt "flame" to your hanging menorah each night of Hanukkah and don't forget the shammash!

And the night shall be filled with music,
And the cares that infest the day
Shall fold their tents like the Arabs
And as silently steal away.
-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Menorah Wall Hanging
An important part of the Hannukah celebration is the menorah. This is a candleholder with eight candles and a shammash or servant candle. One candle is lit by the shammash for each of the night of Hannukah.
