Hanukkah and Christmas Projects from Martha Stewart’s Handmade Holiday Crafts Book

I’ve written before about my love of Martha Stewart’s Handmade Holiday Crafts: 225 Inspired Projects for Year-Round Celebrations, featuring the best holiday craft projects from past issues of Martha Stewart Living Magazine.

Now it’s time for a roundup of my favorite Hanukkah and Christmas crafts from the book, with links to the instructions for each of the crafts on the Martha Stewart Living website.

Here are the Hanukkah and Christmas projects that I’m most excited to try from the book:

Glittered Dreidels – transform plain wooden dreidels into glittery Hanukkah decorations. Use them to adorn presents, garlands, or create dramatic centerpieces by filling a glass jar or hurricane with a variety in a number of different sizes. (link)

Kids’ Glittered Menorah – a fun menorah making project involving a piece of wood, metal nuts, glitter and glue. (We’re in the process of making a similar one using wooden spools instead of the metal nuts.) (link)

Paper Evergreens made from graduated paper circles, gently folded, and adhered to wooden skewers with hot glue. (link)

Embellished Tags use natural materials to dress up ordinary paper solid-colored tags — LOVE LOVE LOVE! (link)
