Pop Up Hanukkah Card

How to Make

1. Paint mini wooden letters in gold for a ‘HAPPY HANUKKAH’ message. Leave the letters to dry.
2. To make the menorah, draw a 12cm semi-circle on the reverse side of gold glitter card. You could use a roll of tape, small bowl or compass as a guide for making the semi-circle. Draw more lines inside the semi-circle, like a rainbow. You’ll need 4 separate semi-circles for the menorah branches with a space between each curve. Use a thick felt pen to fill in the lines so the shapes for the branches are clear. Cut out the 4 branches then glue onto black card with a space between each curve. Trim the black card around the edge. Glue a straight card strip down the middle of the menorah with a small semi-circle for the base.
3. Cut out 9 flames from glow in the dark card then glue onto the top of the menorah. Make the flames long enough to stick onto the back of the card.
4. Fold a piece of 21cm x 15cm glitter card in half as a background. Choose a colour to contrast with the gold menorah. Arrange the painted letters onto the background. Check the position and spelling then glue the letters in place. Use a small brush or a cocktail stick to apply a small amount of glue onto the back of each letter. Glue the menorah onto the background next to the letters.
