Hanukkah Blog Hop Day 9

Today is the last day of our first ANNUAL Hanukkah Blog Hop! We are overwhelmed with the extremely positive response we have received about this hop and all the amazing projects! We hope you were inspired to create and think outside the box when it comes to Jewish related projects! Watch out for future Jewish themed hops…we’ve already discussed one for Passover which is at the end of March 2013!
Thank you to everyone who has visited the first 8 days of the hop. We hope you have enjoyed all the projects and found lots of inspiration! If this is your first visit, you can always go back and visit Day 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.
Today is the ninth day of the blog hop. As you know, there are only eight days of Hanukkah, but nine candles. The ninth candle is the Shamash (or helper) candle that you use to light all of the others. In honor of that, we are all making candle-themed projects for this, the shamash day of our blog hop. My project is a box of Hanukkah themed tea light candles. I used the basic tutorial from Tanya, and modified it to hold eight candles instead of four. I will have a tutorial on making the box on my blog tomorrow.
Here is the outside of the box. (I used Andi’s fabulous idea of including the number 8!)
Stamps: Jewish Celebrations, Every Little Bit, Memorable Moments
Ink: Midnight Muse, Marina Mist, Daffodil Delight
Paper: Marina Mist, Midnight Muse, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White
Other: Midnight Muse Stitched Satin Ribbon, Apothecary Accents Framelits, Simply Scored
This is the box partially opened. You can see half of the candles.
Finally, here is a look at all of the candles. This would make a lovely hostess gift if someone invites you over for latkes. Or you can make your own menorah with them for the eighth night! You just need to add a shamash.
Thank you for hopping along with us. I hope that your Hanukkah is filled with light and miracles.
Your next stop is Miriam’s blog, where she is going to show you another great Hanukkah ‘candle’ project!

Yapha, these are awesome!!!! What a fabulous gift this would make for religious school teachers, or anyone!!!
I have long considered you to be the Jewish crafting and Stampin’ Up! guru. It has been a privilege to get to know you through this hop. I look forward to the continuation of our friendship and participating in future Jewish themed blog hops. Not to mention meeting you in person one of these days!!!

Great idea, using the decorated tealights for the Hanukkah celebration. The box is fab, too. This has been such a positive experience; my thanks for all you have contributed.
What a great way to use the tea lights. And they are so cute with the stamped designs. Tfs!
Fabulous idea! I have yet to stamp on candles and you have given me the inspiration to try it out!
