Chanukah Cards With Quilling
Create one-of-a-kind Chanukah cards for friends and family simply by curling narrow strips of Crayola Color Surge™ Paper. The colors are brilliant!
1. Research information about the origins and customs of Chanukah. Share personal experiences with other students. Identify the symbols and colors associated with this Jewish holiday.
2. Fold a bright Crayola Color Surge™ Paper to create a holiday card. Choose a theme and symbols, such as a menorah or the Star of David.
3. Choose another color of Color Surge Paper. Cut it into narrow strips with the Crayola Cutter or scissors. You will use the strips to do quilling—a traditional craft with rolled decorative paper coils.
4. Smooth each strip between two fingers until the paper bends. Fold over the end and roll the paper to form a tight coil. Pinch coils into shapes, such as rectangles for candles, a teardrop, the letter S, or a circle. Glue the loose end in place and hold until the glue sets.
5. Make interior cuts in your card if you like to create see-through sections. The Cutter is SO versatile! Arrange your coils on the cover of your card. Glue them in place. Air-dry the glue.
6. Use Crayola Color Surge Markers to write holiday greetings and add bright, colorful details to both sides of your card.
