Crochet lantern

Looking for an original and cheerful lantern for your Sukkah? Crochet a lantern! Very nice to hang it in your Sukkah, or even in your garden. The possibilities are endless.
The pattern is just too much fun to use only for such occasions. And the effect is even more spectacular, if you use 2 or 3 different colors.
The colors coral, ivory and mint are perfect for this project and are great in combination with the beautiful cotton tones.

To do this, guide the thread underneath the ring and raise it over the front, then pull it through the loops on the crochet hook.

DIY chalk lantern jar for Sukkot

During the week long festival of Sukkot, Jews live and eat in huts called Sukkahs. These huts mimic what farmers slept in during ancient harvests and are a way to honor the 40 years they lived in the desert. What are some ways to celebrate?

Make a sukkah: The traditional hut is sturdy enough to last all week, has a thatched roof made of leaves and sticks so you can see the stars.
And decorate it!
Eat and sleep in the sukkah! Traditionally, you can eat every meal and sleep in the sukkah too. (Weather permitting.)

Sukkah decorations

During the seven days of Sukkot, the Sukkah is the hearth of the home. Here, we eat our meals, receive our friends and family, and rejoice in the bounty of the season.
According to tradition, the roof of your Sukkah should be open enough to let the stars shine through. It should also be made of something that once grew. Ideas include bamboo, tree branches, palm fronds, brilliant fall foliage, or cornstalks ...
The decoration in your Sukkah can be fancy or it can be as simple as an upcycled jars painted gold and decorated with strass, beads and anything that you like that shines. Afterward you can use them as lanterns to illuminate your sukkah or as a pot to put flowers into.

Summer lanterns

Create small lanterns or candle holders for summer dinners, cheerful and colorful.  
Recycle jars of baby food, apply strips of tape paper at a distance of about 1cm. 
Paint with acrylic colours. Once dry, remove the tape paper, fill halfway with durum wheat and cut strips of jute to tie them around the jar.  
Decorate your tables summer with something completely recycled ...
...trusting the magic of summer to provide us with a world of infinite possibilities.
