How are you decorating your Hanukkah table? Candles are a must which is why I present to you this craft for Hanukkah wood paper votives! Tea votives scattered throughout the table or around your living space is a great way to add some ambient lighting to compliment the candle light of the menorah. Of course, you can use any old votives but I think this craft adds a little extra holiday touch – for all the folks who love to be extra! For this craft, I’ve chosen real wood paper for a warm, earthy touch which is quite nice when it’s cold and snowy out. I like the Scandinavian-inspired look of light wood paper – it’s definitely a different way to think about your Hanukkah decor, particularly if you have an all-white living space. I think these would look phenomenal styled in an all-white space with just a touch of light blue and a little sparkle of silver.
Materials
- Wood paper such as from Real Wood Paper
- Vellum paper
- Glass votive holders
- Star of David template
- Utility knife
- Self healing mat
- Pencil
- Hot glueÂ
Steps
- Measure how much wood veneer paper is needed to wrap around your glass votive holders. Cut a rectangle piece of wood veneer paper in accordance with measurements.Â
- Using a self-healing mat and utility knife, place the Star of David template in the center and cut out the voids of the star.Â
- Repeat steps 1 and 2 to create as many votive holders as desired.Â
- Cut a piece of vellum paper to glue to the back of the wood veneer paper. (It doesn’t need to cover the entire back – just enough to cover the Star of David).Â
- Wrap the wood veneer paper around a glass votive holder, glue ends together with hot glue. If needed, trim the veneer paper around the top edges to sit in line with the glass holder.
