One of our favorite family holidays is Hanukkah. My husband and I have a special connection with the festival and the story of Hanukkah and one of the ways I love to celebrate any occasion is by adding my own special decorating touches. I have always enjoyed making simple DIY’s and adding decorations to bring in that festive vibe.
Now, I am not good at Pinterest-y crafts, and DIY. You know, those beautifully executed decoration ideas on Pinterest that somehow don’t translate into beautiful or cute when we try them at home.
This year when Hanukkah came around, I wanted to try some simple Hannukah crafts that I could enjoy as a mom-son activity. It had to be simple enough for my 4-year old to make.
We made these beautiful Star of David wall hangings that are so easy to make. They brought together the entire look of our Hanukkah decorations too.
