In the Shabbat and Holidays chapter, you will learn how to create your own challah or Passover matzah covers, assemble adorable Hanukkah dreidel game kits for the kids, and create many other must-haves for these Jewish events.
Passover Matzah Cover
It seems like there is always a wedding or bat/bar mitzvah ahead. For the next one, make a delicate bridal veil, kippah, tallit, or even a huppah for the participants. Not only will this save money for the celebration but handmade pieces are always more meaningful on these special days.
Besides decorating for the holidays, this book also provides so many projects that would make the perfect gift for a Jewish relative or friend in joyous occasions, like weddings, births, housewarmings, or to celebrate other achievements.
Hamsa
