Chanukia

 


Materials:
Clay
Branches 
Shells
Stones
Rocks
Glue
Paint

Instructions:
Make your own nature chanukia, by following these basic rules:
The chanukia should hold eight candles that are all the same height. The ninth candle, the shamash, which is used to light the other candles, should be placed higher than the other candles on the chanukia.
Use a material that doesn’t burn for holding the candles.
Be creative.  Start with a base for your chanukia.  You can make a base using clay or a branch, an interesting rock or any other interesting object.  Glue nine candleholders to the base following the rules written above - you may use shells, stones etc.  When you have finished you may decorate your chanukia with paint or leave it naturally colored.
