LETTER FROMthe eDItORHey everyone!

This Hanukkah season will be written down in the history books. The occurrence of Thanksgiving and Hanukkah converging is a once in a lifetime event. The Thanksgiving/Hanukkah mashup is just 2 weeks away and we’ve got you cov-ered. not only do we have a great interview with the creators of “Thanksgivukkah,” but we have some delicious recipes from manischewitz and kosher in the kitch! breezy teaches us how to make a Challah cornucopia that will make the perfect centerpiece for your Thanksgivukkah table! Throughout this issue we have loads of Hanukkah crafts and projects for adults and children alike: diy lego creations, gelt bags, and a dreidel snowglobe to name a few. of course our magazine would not be the same without the talented papaya events and devorah’s Hannukah winter tablescape. gifting is simpler with our ultimate Ha-nukkah shopping guide, cost saving ideas from mara strom of kosher on a budget and related parenting tips. during this season of thanks, we are grateful for our religious freedom, family and friends which we celebrate on both Hanukkah and Thanksgiving. The Hanukkah lights remind us to be thankful for our personal victories and to appreciate those who have fought for them. Thanksgivukkah is truly the ultimate mashup. we are grateful to you, our readers who inspire our creative minds and spirits. Happy Thanksgiving and have a meaningful Hanukkah!

direCTions:

roll out the cookie dough (1/4” thick).

using the cookie cutter, cut out the dough. (you can add some more dough to the bark of the tree to make it larger.)

if you would like to make your tree stand, use a knife to cut a straight edge on the bottom of the trunk before baking.

bake the cookies and allow to cool.

melt the candy melts according to the directions on the package.

use a spoon to smear melted candy melts on the top part of the tree.

sprinkle fruity pebbles on top. allow to dry.

melt the chocolate or cookie dip in a double boiler or mi-crowave.

dip the trunk of the tree into the chocolate.

if you would like the cookie to stand upright on the plate, place ½ tsp of melted chocolate on the plate. position the cookie on the melted chocolate & put a small heavy object behind the tree to hold in place until it is completely dry.

i love a challenge and being creative but this

Hanukkah/Thanksgiving combination is a lot

of work. i mean, can we just fry a turkey and

call it a day? i would just buy the huge Costco

size container of oil and fry my Thanksgiving

meal with my latkes and viola! i created my own

version of Thanksgivukkah! after thinking about

it i realized that takes all the fun out of the holi-

day season. i look forward to entertaining my

family every year with fun food, games and ac-

tivities for both Thanksgiving and Hanukkah as

two separate holidays - and now i only get one.

so i decided to look at what Thanksgiving and

Hanukkah each represent. Though they had lit-

tle in common, both revolve around family and

nourishment. The one thing that stuck out with

me was the cornucopia which is a symbol of

abundance and nourishment. Hanukkah is about

nourishing our neshama, soul. in the history of

Hanukkah, the maccabees won, and that little

kad shemen, oil jug nourished us for eight days!

i knew what i had to do… i was going to create

my own cornucopia! Turns out it’s pretty easy to

do but looks super complicated.

1. take a water bottle and Cover it with aluminum foil (i used heavy duty so it was stronger). make sure that one side is narrow and one side flares out.

2. remove the water bottle and Close one end of the foil while the other end stays open.

3. for this step you will need a dough that is thiCk

but does not rise too muCh. i prefer pizza dough. avoid puff pastry that CraCks (unless you are making mini ones) or Challah dough that rises to double its size. roll out the dough and Cut into 1”-3” strips.

4. plaCe foil mold on a baking sheet and Cover it with a non stiCk spray.

5. plaCe one strip of dough

on the mold, seCuring it on the bottom. Continue adding strips, laying them side by side and seCuring the bottom until you have Come full CirCle and have Covered the foil entirely. it may be easier to stand the mold on its side for the first few steps.

6. take 3 additional strips and braid them.

plaCe them on top of the CornuCopia. you Can even make all the rows as braids if you prefer.

7. brush the whole CornuCopia with egg wash (1 egg mixed with a tablespoon of water) so that it gets a golden outside and stays soft inside.

8. bake aCCording to direCtions on the dough paCkage (i did 350 degrees for 20 minutes), remove from the oven and allow it to Cool before removing the aluminum foil.

i love the idea of making small cornucopias and serving individual

salads, vegetables or diced meat appetizers. Fill with cold cuts instead

of a wrap. Fill a large cornucopia with chocolates as a centerpiece

or even make it out of herb flavored bread and serve it with dips.

Can you briefly desCribe the origins of thanksgivukkah, the woodstoCk inspired t-shirt and dana gitells’ pitCh to you?

The Thanksgivukkah thing is crazy! i have known that Hanukkah and

Thanksgiving would be on the same day for years. we looked at it as something

that would be a problem for our business. if Hanukkah is close to Thanksgiving,

the selling season is shorter. people don’t think of Hanukkah until after

Thanksgiving and then it is too late. i had been worried and then in January, dana

reached out to me with sketches of the art they were working on. i was like “yeah,

let’s do this.” we get presented with ideas and pitches all the time. we look for a

particular design that is aesthetic and witty. i immediately knew this was that. we

usually look for products that we can produce again and again. (This is a onetime

event – who knows what will happen with products that are leftover?) it’s been

really popular and we have been able to sell.

did you ever expeCt it to get so large?  no, we’ve had an october where we’ve done twice as much sales in this one

month as we did in Jan-sept in 2013. For our small company, it is very big.

what was the biggest media attention you reCeived and how did you feel about it?

The coverage in the wall street Journal was big, but the associated press,

which gets distributed to hundreds of newspapers and online publications, was

really significant for us. we are excited about all the media attention. it’s fun!

That’s the bottom line.

jCreate’s exclusive interview with Jennie rivlin roberTs,

Founder and shopkeeper of www.modernTribe.com.

what speCial things are you personally doing to Celebrate thanksgivukkah?

we are having our family over like we always do including my parents, in laws,

sister in law and niece. we always have Thanksgiving, but this year we are having

Thanksgivukkah!

i am planning on having a menurkey painting activity, using acrylic paint. my

husband will be roasting a turkey as always. my eight year old daughter has already

asked me if it would be okay to drill holes into the turkey to place candles inside and

make a real live menurkey. wHy noT?!?

we will of course all be wearing our Thanksgivukkah woodstock inspired t-shirts.

i still have to think about the appropriate soundtrack for Thanksgivukkah.

our readers want to know: how do you balanCe work and home (kids?) and still run a suCCessful and trendy Company?

it’s really hard. well, i do work out of my home; the business and warehouse are in my

basement. one of the things i learned early on was that i needed to physically separate my

home space and work space. i also have a very understanding husband!

during the less busy season, i truly

try not to work overtime. i am done

at 5, i have a very flexible schedule

so i can go to school plays, games or

stay home when my daughter is sick.

nine months out of the year i have

a wonderful work life balance. and

then for three months it is absolutely

nuts. and i do my best when i am not

working to be totally present in my home.visit www.moderntribe.com/judaica/thanksgivukkah to buy this

t-shirt and more Thanksgivukkah gear.

AROUND THE HOUSE

- Cleaned up toys

- Straightened room

- Helped with laundry

- Cleaned up place after supper

- Helped sweep the floor

SHABBAT

- Set the table

- Cleared the table

MORAH SAYS: MORAH SAYS: Sammy helped mommy

shop for groceries.

if your classroom teacher does not collect mitzvah notes, start a chart at home! reviewing them and adding to the chart will encourage positive behavior!

PERSONAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS

- Finished his/her whole supper

- Got dressed quickly

- Took a bath

- Listened to parents the first time

- Brushed teeth

- Waited patiently

- Was happy with what I received

- Used the potty

- Washed hands nicely

- Went to bed on time

I can tell you that it doesn’t matter WHAT you write on the mitzvah note, but rather THAT you write. The children thrive on the attention that they receive and feel

so good about themselves for having done a special deed. This not only improves self-esteem in young children, but fosters a greater sense of self and importance. In my group I have the child sit on my lap as I read his/her note. Then all the children say “hooray” for that child. The parent can write the same thing over and over again, or it can be something really trivial. That child feels so proud that he/she wants to do the good deed/ mitzvah again. Don’t worry about what you write, just write something. Alternatively, ask your child what you should write: he/she will come up with ideas!

This past october, children had a second “back-to-school” experience after sukkot vacation. The folders were still firm and the pencils fully sharpened when they stepped back into their

classrooms. while these supplies can prepare students for their work inside the classroom, they are not sufficient supplies to combat bullying. Thankfully, through both a national program and a more local resource, the topic of bullying is getting the attention it deserves.

one of these programs, Captain mcFinn and Friends, is a book series that teaches children in grades k through 3 about how to recognize bullying and protect against it at an early age. in fact, october has been designated

national bullying prevention month and Captain mcFinn and Friends are sponsoring a campaign called malls and retailers unite against bullying. last october, Cafaro malls launched a similar program with great success. This year, Captain mcFinn and Friends is offering the program to families around the us, providing an opportunity to build community awareness, create change and teach others how to end the cycle of bullying.

Captain mcFinn and Friends champions a program called s.H.a.r.k. patrol. s.H.a.r.k. (students Help achieve respect and kindness) patrol was developed by accredited educators to prevent bullying by reinforcing positive behavior. The program offers tools for educators, students and parents

“Bullying in schools is a major issue nationwide, occurring on a daily basis. No parent, grandparent, or educator wants children to feel unsafe at school, because schools should be a place for learning, fun, and friendship.”

including storybooks, complete lesson plans, puppets, sing-a-long Cds, posters and stickers.

“be a buddy, not a bully” is the underlying theme of this book series. according to the national association of elementary school principals, bullying has become a national epidemic with an estimated 18 million children in the u.s. being bullied each year; negative feelings from being bullied account for 3 million student absences each month. educators agree it is critical to educate kids about anti-bullying when they are young in order to counter this negative trend.Captain mcFinn and Friends was created by phyllis Cafaro, with inspiration from her grandchildren. in 2006, she began her journey to teach important life lessons to children through fictional stories and music. “my ultimate goal with Captain mcFinn and Friends is to make the world a better place in which to live, one child (and fish) at a time,” says phyllis. “bullying in schools is a major issue nationwide, occurring on a daily basis. no parent, grandparent, or educator wants children to feel unsafe at school, because schools should be a place for learning, fun, and friendship.”

my kids fell in love with this series as soon as i brought the books home and have benefitted from its lessons. my purchase was well worth it! a portion of the proceeds from Captain mcFinn and Friends product sales will benefit the Captain mcFinn Foundation, which supports a variety of children’s charities. now, this is a brand i am in love with!

get lost or ruined easily but can provide hours of en-tertainment. buy these by the dozen! i buy and store chinese jump-ropes, regular jump-ropes, hair acces-sories, junk jewelry, decks of cards, toy cars, beads and string and more.

on shabbat of hanukkah, we have a meaningful tradition of giving our children a Jewish themed book. i love to support my local Judaica shop.

Crafts! Crafting materials make great gifts, are easy to clean up and keep your kids busy for hours: foam stick-ers, pipe cleaners, lanyard, rainbow loom (ages 3+), beads (ages 3+), coloring books, tissue paper and glue, water paint, duct tape.

little people/figurines are small inexpensive gifts that are both timeless and gender neutral. all you need to add is a little imagination.

invest in gifts that you will need to buy anyway: cute pajamas, socks, hats and gloves, sparkly boots, bows and hair-clips.

do not get caught up in the holiday deals and steals. a friend’s very wise mother taught me: it’s not a bargain if you don’t need it. if you live by that rule, your kids will have beautiful gifts at beautiful prices.

THe giFT OF GIvInGHanukkah is right around the corner and who does not love Hanukkah? everyone enjoys the candles glowing in the window, playing dreidel, eating latkes and sufganiyot and lots of family parties. but many parents might dread Hanukkah because of the pressure to buy their kids gifts. parents often feel that their kids have too much and become frustrated because they always want more. it makes us wonder if our kids will ever learn to be givers rather than takers.

do not fear. There are a few simple ways to make sure your children learn to be givers:

1. be a giver:The best way to teach your children anything is not by lecturing but by role modeling. That means that you need to strive to be the person you would like them to be. (no pressure, kids will forgive your imperfections, if you forgive theirs.) if your kids see you giving of your time and your energy to the people around you, they will probably become givers just by osmosis. That will become their standard for normal, appropriate behavior.

you can let them know in a conversational sort of way of the acts of giving that you do:“i am going to give a call to mrs. wein. older people who live alone can get real lonely sometimes, especially around the holidays. They can use someone to talk to.”“The steins just had a baby. i know they can use some help. i am going to make them some dinner.”

2. reinForCe giving beHavior:another great way to teach your children giving behavior is to praise kids for the times you see them giving. don’t point out the times when they are acting selfish, instead be on the lookout for any little act of kindness, consideration and giving

on their part. when we give attention to a kid’s negative behavior we inadvertently reinforce their negative behavior. when we only focus on their positive behavior we reinforce that positive behavior. it takes a while to retrain our brains to look for the positive but it is well worth the effort.

For example:

“you shared your sufganiyah with your brother. That is called being considerate.”

“you let your sister go first even though it was your turn. That is called being kind.”

“you let eli borrow your football. That is what a giving neighbor does.”

3. Help your CHild use His/Her TalenTs To give:Children are more likely to give of their time if they are doing what they like to do. (The same thing goes for adults as well.) so if your child likes to sing, or play a musical instrument, perhaps they can volunteer to do so at a local nursing home. if your child is good with young children, maybe they can offer babysitting help. Children who love animals would benefit from working in an animal shelter.

once they start using their talents to give, they will be more likely to give some more.

Teaching kids to be givers does not have to be difficult, it can be done simply in little ways. we all know that sometimes the best gifts come in small packages.

4 squeeze out small amount of ink onto dinner square. place brayer on dinner square, rolling back and forth until a light coating of ink is on the brayer.

apply the inked brayer across the foam rectangle, careful not to trap ink in the etched lines.

Tip The white lines where the foam is etched will not print thus creating the design outline. To print your design, place a sheet of manila paper on inked rectangle and gently rub with the palm of your hand.

pull the paper from the corner and admire your printed design!

repeat until you have the amount of prints you desire, let dry.

This recipe was inspired by my moms famous cheese blintzes and her delicious noodle kugel. i took the cheese mixture she uses for the blintzes, and combined it with the noodles and apple sauce that she puts in her kugel and bam, i got cheese blintz noodle kugel latkes!

ingredienTs:2 eggs1 cup of cottage cheese1/2 cup of ricotta cheese1/2 cup of apple sauce1/2 tsp. cinnamon1 tsp. brown sugar1/2 bag of medium egg noodles, cooked

directions:

mix the eggs in a large mixing bowl. add the cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, and apple sauce and mix well. add the cin-namon and sugar and mix well. Then add the cooked noodles and combine. Heat up a large skillet with some oil and shape the noodle and cheese mixture into patties and cook until golden brown on each side.

CHeese blinTzlatkeS:

Hanukkah, the holiday of all things fried and delicious is upon us! much like children who wait for the holidays to unwrap presents, i eagerly anticipate the festival of lights so i can bite into powdered jelly donuts and fried potato latkes. while i usually try to eat a balanced healthy diet, i always give myself the green light on Hanukkah to indulge in all things sweet and savory. when you eat well year round, it doesn’t feel very bad to nosh when the holidays come around! That said, this year i decided to try and make the usually greasy pancake a bit lighter. This is the healthiest recipe i could come up with that still screams “eat me, ‘cuz i have been fried for Hanukkah!” i like the extra crunch the panko crumbs add, however if you really want to cut out the extra calories you can leave them out as well as the potatoes and only use 2 eggs. personally, i would rather have a smaller portion of something that tastes great than a full serving of something low fat.

broCColi CHeddar latkeS:potato latkes are as exciting as vanilla ice cream. i’m sure there are purists who believe it’s best to stick with tradition, but i like to mix things up in the kitch. This year, i’m giving the latke a serious make-over, starting with this recipe for broccoli cheddar latkes!

ingredienTs:1 lb. of broccoli florets, chopped and steamed1 russet potato, peeled and grated1 small onion, diced1/2 cup of panko crumbs2 eggs1/2 tsp. black pepper1/4 tsp. salt1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper2 tablespoons flour1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese1/4 cup canola oiloil for frying

directions:Steam and chop the broccoli florets. Place in large mixing bowl. add the grated potato, diced onion, panko crumbs, eggs, pepper, salt, cayenne pepper, flour, cheese and oil and mix well. Shape into patties and fry until golden brown.

directions:

beat the eggs in a large mixing bowl. stir in the garlic, salt & pepper. Then grate the zucchini and potatoes into a separate bowl. squeeze the zucchini and potatoes in a kitchen towel to remove all liquid. add grated zucchini, potato, scallions, panko crumbs & parmesan to the egg batter and combine well. (if you find the batter is too loose, add some flour, about 2 tablespoons to thicken it up.) Heat up a large non stick frying pan with oil over medium heat. using 1/4 cup measuring cup, cook the batter in batches and fry until golden brown, about 3 – 4 minutes each side. serve warm with sour cream or apple sauce.

directions:peel, core and slice the apples into small chunks. place the apple slices in a pot. add the apple cider and water to the pot. There should be enough to cover the apples. bring liquid to a boil then simmer until the apples are soft and tender. you can test if the apples are soft by using a fork. once cooked, remove from heat and mash with a potato masher. (i like it chunky so i use the masher, if you want a smoother texture place in a blender or use an immersion blender until you have the desired consistency.)

who doesn’t love Hanukkah? we get to eat fried foods, unwrap presents, eat pockets full of chocolate change and gamble on dreidel games. For me, Hanukkah is uber special because it’s my birthday, my anniversary, and the anniversary of my son’s bris. i know, i know, i lose out on the presents, but the truth is, it doesn’t really matter. Hanukkah makes me realize just how blessed i am and that is good enough for me! nothing evokes the spirit of the holidays more than snowglobes. but try and find one that doesn’t include a reindeer, evergreen or snowman – pretty impossible. This year, i decided to make my own Hanukkah creation. it was inspired by the landmark dreidel that sits in front of the Jewish Children’s museum in brooklyn (if you haven’t gone yet, you must take your kids there for Hanukkah!). you’ll be surprised just how easy it is to make your own snowglobe. go ahead and include whatever figurine you’d like. a menorah would work really well too.

wHaT you’ll need:a resealable glass Jar (sligHTly bigger THan your Figurine)dreidel, menoraH, or oTHer Holiday Figurineglass Tile or CorkwHiTe gliTTerglyCerin (available aT drugsTores)ribbonglue gun

How to:1. start by removing the paper wrapping from your jar. goo gone works well to remove the sticky stuff. wash the inside of the jar and set aside.2. Turn the lid over, revealing the inside of the lid and make sure it’s clean and dry. using a glue gun, glue a glass or ceramic tile, cork, or anything waterproof, to the center of the lid. This will be the base for your figurine to stand on inside the globe. (without it, part of the figurine will be covered by the lid).3. glue your figurine to the base. To glue the dreidel on a slant, set the dreidel on its side and starting from underneath the base, begin adding glue. as the glue dries, add more and more glue until the dreidel has a firm glob of glue to rest on. make sure the gimmel side is facing up. 4. add a tbsp or so of white glitter to your jar (you can always add more later, you don’t want to overdo it at first).5. Fill jar with water.6. add a few drops of glycerin to the water. This will help the glitter fall slowly so that it resembles a snowfall.7. insert the figurine upside down and screw the lid tightly closed.* Check to see if the jar needs more water, glitter, or glycerin. adjust as needed.8. glue ribbon around the jar cover and tie into a bow.9. Turn upside down and shake. now let it snow. let it snow. let it snow!* if you can’t get the lid to seal tightly enough, you can seal the edges with silicone.

“moooo-ooooom,” my youngest calls to me. “it’s leah’s birthday party today. we have to get her a present!” a few years ago, a reminder like this would have put fear into my heart: “oh no! not another last minute trip to Target!” Today i just smile serenely, take my daughter by her hand, and walk downstairs to our gift closet.

Just what Is a GIFt clOset? simply put, a gift closet is a dedicated space in your home, where you store gift items -- and supplies to wrap them. gift closets save you not only time, but also money when you shop throughout the year, picking up items when they are on sale for pennies on the dollar. with a well stocked gift closet, you will never have to pay retail again for your family’s birthday, Hanukkah, housewarming, hostess, baby, bar mitzvah and wedding gifts! are you ready to start saving time and money? Here are five tips:

#1. Make a lIst Take inventory of the gift-giving occasions in your life. do your children attend a lot of friends’ birthday parties? do you regularly get invited to weddings? bar or bat mitzvahs? does Hanukkah gift-giving extend to your 17 nieces and nephews? do you love to spoil your grandchildren for their birthdays - or anytime? once you have a clear idea of your gift-buying needs, you can be focused on picking the items to stock

your closet. Those crystal candlesticks may be a great deal at 75% off, but if you haven’t been invited to a wedding in years, they’re probably not the right place to save. put your energy, instead, toward better investments that fit your gift-giving style.

#2. Only buy the (veRy) best Deals The key to saving money with your gift closet is to shop at the right time. For me, that means, stocking up when i’m saving at least 50% off the retail price. what’s so magical about 50% savings? i know that sales of 20% or even 30% come around often, so unless it’s something i need right away, i’ll patiently wait for a better deal. once items are discounted to half their retail value, however, those savings are much more rare -- and i’m therefore eager to “lock them in.” of course, most of my gift closet items were scored at even deeper discounts! Children’s toys, for example, are clearanced at Target stores in January, following the holiday rush, and again in July. i wait to see those big red 75% off clearance signs & then scoop up $100 worth of toys for just $25! Target store end caps also hide fantastic clearance deals throughout the year. i have purchased sets of burt bee’s soaps & lotions, for example, for pennies on the dollars - and they make wonderful hostess gifts. Target isn’t the only place to stock my gift closet, of course. From department stores to drug stores to online retailers, great deals abound. once you have your list of gift-giving occasions, you are primed to grab the best ones whenever and wherever they hit.

#3. DOn’t FORGet abOut the GIFt wRap it’s great to be able to give quality presents that cost you little, but don’t blow your savings by paying full price for gift bags and cards! Create a discounted stockpile of these items, too. The best time to buy is early January, when holiday wrap is marked down to as much as 90% off. i pick up huge rolls of wrapping paper for $.50 and big bags of bows for $1. you may need to sort through the obviously Christmas-themed paper, but i’m always able to find “neutral” selections with bright colors, stripes or patterns. i also love to use gift bags for the convenience factor, so come January, i stock up on clearanced, solid green, red or silver bags - and plenty of white tissue paper. when given in July, these bags certainly don’t look Christmasy!

#4. Make ROOM & Get ORGanIzeD despite the name, a gift closet doesn’t have to be contained in an actual closet. mine sure isn’t! i have an inexpensive bookshelf in our unfinished basement and organize the shelves by gender, age and occasion. next to the shelf, i have an old ikea bin, which is filled with rolls of wrapping paper and bags of bows and ribbon. if your home is particularly tight on space, you can stash gifts under the master bed or in tubs in the attic. The top shelf of a linen closet - where all those unreachable items languish - could be reclaimed for your gift closet space. i’ve even heard of families who store their gift “closet” items in suitcases in their garage! wherever you store your gifts, keep them as organized as possible, sorting by age, occasion or type of gift. you may even want to keep a running list, to which you add new purchases and cross off gifted ones. Then, even if your gift closet is stashed away in the eaves of your attic, you can quickly consult your list to know which items are still available.’

#5. buDGet FOR the GIFt clOset it’s great to spend less on your gift-giving, but splurging on a clearance deal when you don’t have the cash in your budget won’t actually save your family any money. in fact, if you routinely put these kinds of bargains on a credit card and carry a balance, they cost you far more in interest than they would at full price. in order to avoid this trap, try setting aside a fixed amount of money -- even $10 or $20 -- every month into a gift-giving fund. store it in a cash envelope or squirrel the money away in a savings account. Then, when the prices are

right, you’ll have the money to follow through on the deals.

hanukkah GIFt clOset tIps

with the first night of Hanukkah just around the corner, your new gift closet can be a great gift-giving resource. start by making a quick budget, then create a list of all your gift-giving recipients. once you know who you’re buying for -- and how much money have you to spend -- you can be on the look-out for great sale items. The good news is that october and november are great months for bargain shopping; in the lead up to the holiday season, we always see steep discounts on toys, electronics, clothing and housewares. one tip for storing gifts intended for your children: find a secret storage space. my gift closet is only for “generic” items - those we’ll “shop” from for some upcoming occasion; the x-box games i got on clearance for my son’s Hanukkah present are buried deep in my own closet. after Hanukkah ends, you can once again stock up your gift closet with clearance finds. last year, for example, i was able to grab sports-themed dreidels at Target for just $.05 a piece! i bought a few dozen, which will come in handy for this year’s kid-friendly Hanukkah party.

upCyCle used Foam board inTo 3-d dreidel proJeCTs!

what we did:i prepared the foam board by scoring it into 2.25” squares using a t-square as my guide for the foam board cutter. i do a whole sheet of foam board at a time. my t-square is 2.25 inches wide, which is the size of my squares.

next, i separated the sections and got rid of the extra square.

By Rachel and yissy ORenBuch

5 boxes by 4 boxes makes 2 proJeCTs

i then cut out sections that are 5 boxes by 4 boxes.

i then angled off the bottoms to create 4 triangles.

i poked 2 holes in the top square (1 at center, 1 at the edge) and 1 in the top portion of the third square from the left (2 for the ribbon, 1 for the stick) and had the kids decorate the boxes.

once the kids were done, i taped the bottom and sides to assemble the cube.

The kids stuffed the foam dreidels with gelt, dreidels, crayons, and other small items.

we sealed the box by threading a ribbon through the 2 holes, and attaching a note card with each child’s signature. we stuck a candy cane through the hole in the top (a nice pencil would work too).

This project makes a nice gift for children in local hospitals or as centerpieces on your own Hanukkah table!

Hanukkah starts this year on Novmber 27th so I wanted to get a jump on the festivities by sending something fun and personal to my niece Miriam and nephew Daniel for their celebrations. I decided to make these monogramed pouches and fill them with everything they will need to play the dreidel game: a dreidel, some chocolate coins (aka gelt), and even a little printout with a copy of the rules.

MATERIALS

To make 4 pouches:

1/4 yard of Global Weave Loose Weave Linen in NaturalSashiko Thread in six colors. I used: Aqua, Cobalt, Cyan, Yellow, Orchid, and Off White.100% cotton thread in color 3260 (to match the linen)A Reverse Alphabet, printed out Tracing paperA water soluble fabric markerAn iron on transfer pencil

For the dreidel game:

Buy Dreidels HereCandy Hanukkah gelt

EMBROIDERED DREIDEL GAME POUCHES

www.purlbee.com

CUTTINGCut the linen into four pieces, 10-inches wide by 6-inches tall.

EMBROIDERING THE INITIALTrace the initial from the reverse alphabet you want to use onto the tracing paper with your iron on pencil.

with the water soluble pen mark the area 3-inches from the bottom, and 2 1/2-inches from the right edge.

place the traced initial traced side down so that it's outer corner lines up with the mark.

iron on the tracing paper in this position. don't move the tracing paper as you iron. when you remove the tracing paper the initial will be marked on the linen. (if you need more help with ironing on the initial please check out the simple embroidered stockings post

here.)

using the red sashiko thread, embroider the perimeter of the initial with a small back stitch.

Fill in the initial using a satin stitch.

if you need help with backstitch or satin stitch please check out our basic embroidery tutorial here.

EMBROIDERING THE BACKGROUNDmake five to six horizontal markings across the width of the linen with the water soluble marker. place them randomly, 1 1/2-inches to 1/4-inches apart from one another.

embroider over each of these lines (but not across the initial). For each line use a differ-ent embroidery stitch and a different sashiko thread color.

i used many variations of running stitch, cross stitch, and chain stitch. if you want more advanced embroidery stitch inspiration check out my two color embroidery tutorial.

press the sides and bottom of the linen 1/2-inch over to the wrong side of the fabric.

ATTACHING THE DRAWSTRINGnow iron the top down 1/2-inch, to the wrong side of the linen. sew this fold down with a running stitch using one of the sashiko threads. This fold is the drawstring channel.

Cut an 18-inch length from three different colors of sashiko thread. braid these strands and tie one of the ends into a knot. Thread all three pieces of the untied end into a blunt needlepoint needle and pull the braided thread through the top drawstring channel.

Tie the remaining loose end of the braided threads.

FINISHINGFold and press the linen in half like a book. make sure all the threads from the raw edges are all encased on the inside of the pouch and then pin it shut.

using the linen colored sewing thread, sew the bottom and side of the pouch shut with a slip stitch as shown above: Take a small stitch through the fold of one side of the seam,and then take a small stitch though the opposite side's fold.

stitch the bottom and the sides up like this. The seam should be fairly invisible.

Fill each bag with a copy of the dreidel game rules, some gelt, and a dreidel and then let the games begin!
