Dreidel
Card From the Kathy Ross book: The Best Holiday Crafts
Ever
Wish someone you know a very happy Hanukkah with this unusual greeting cards.
You Need:
Two Greeting Card Envelopes of the Same Size and Color
Metallic Trim
Colored Construction paper
Black Marker
White Glue
Scissors
Instructions:
Open the flaps of the envelopes. Put glue along the sides of
the back of the envelopes and along the outer edges of the flaps.
With the backs of the envelopes facing each other, glue the
flaps and sides together. This will make a dreidel shape with a pocket inside.
Cut a handle for the dreidel from construction paper. It should be
long enough to slide all the way into the pocket to the point of the envelope, leaving a 4
inch handle sticking out of the other ends. Write you Hanukkah message on the part of the
handle that will be hidden. Write PULL at the top end of the handle and slide the message
part of the handle and slide the message part of the handle into the dreidel pocket.
If you used white envelopes instead of colored ones, you
may want to color the dreidel with markers or crayons. Draw a Hebrew letter -- Nun,
Gimel, Hay, or Shin -- on the front of the dreidel with a black marker. Decorate the
dreidel and handle by gluing on strips of metallic trim.
