Hanukkah Banner
1.
Using the pattern below, trace and cut the menorah from the gold felt.
Working with an adult in a well ventilated area, spray the menorah with
two coats of gold spray paint; let dry. Spray the dowel, the two
doll pin bases, and the two head beads with two coats of gold spray paint;
let dry.
2.
To make a hem in the 17-inch side of the blue felt, fold over 2 inches
of the felt and crease it. Unfold, apply a line of glue 1/4 inch
from the edge, and refold the felt. Hold it in place until the glue
dries. Be very careful. Hot glue can give you a bad burn.
Be sure to leave enough room between the crease and the glue line to inser
the dowel.
3.
Using the pattern below, trace and cut nine candles from the white pennant
felt and nine flames from the gold pennant felt.
4.
Glue the fringe to the bottom of the banner so that 1 inch of fringe sticks
out from each side. Fold and glue the 1 inch sections of fringe to
the back of the banner. Position the menorah and candles as in the
illustration, and then glue them to the banner. Roll nine 1 1/2 inch
lengths of masking tape into loops with the sticky side out and place put
one on the back of each flame. (You can add one flame to the banner
on each day of Hanukkah.)
5.
Slide the dowel through the hem at the top of the banner. Glue a
head bead to a doll pin base, and then glue them to one oend of the dowel.
Repeat on the other end of the dowel. To make a hanger, tie the ends
of the cord to the ends of the dowel.
