Make Your Own Paper Dreidel Lanterns

Woah! I got so much love for the Sukkot lanterns and I have to say, thank you so much!! Since they were such a hit, I just knew I had to make a template for Hanukkah. It is the Festival of Lights, after all. 

For this project, I decided to try a more colorful paper for the lantern along with a confetti vellum. Do you love it?? I know I do. I might just have to re-cut the Sukkot ones with fancy paper. We’ll see.

Oh, and I have good news: if you’re cutting these out by hand, the dreidels are wayyyy easier to cut than the lulavs and etrogs. By a lot. I have the dreidel letters in the template, but I kind of liked the simplicity of the silhouette alone. 

As always with paper lanterns: safety first. Do not use these with an open flame. Battery-operated tea lights are highly recommended.
