Burlap Six Pointed Star Sukkah Decoration

Sukkah Decorations to adorn your Sukkah. The main commandment during the holiday of Sukkot is to live in the temporary hut known as a “Sukkah” for the entire duration of the holiday. The general practice is to live in the Sukkah as one does in his house. This is the reason why Jews eat in the Sukkah and many also sleep and even work in the Sukkah during the holiday. Because of this tradition, it is common for Sukkahs to be brightly decorated. Sukkah decorations include posters, chains of different types, paper and foil fruit, greetings cards and colored lights.
SIX POINTED STAR DECORATION ON BURLAP
Have you ever thought about painting on burlap for your decorations? I have and that is what it resulted.
The supplies  are items we always use for any art project involving paint. To minimize clean up and the number of times we run to the kitchen or bathroom we have the following items handy. A roll of paper towel or painter’s rags.
We purchased the burlap cloth from the craft store. But honestly you can reuse burlap you have lying around the house (from coffee grounds, produce sacks, gifts etc)

Sand art

The Navajo Natives still paint with sand.They make fine designs, they do it by hand.
As well as an art piece, the sand is a way, to keep all the old evil spirits at bay.
Using sand from the beach and some paint and some spoons, you can make sand art as bright as the moon. 


You'll need: empty jars or plastic yogurt containers. Powdered tempera paints in a variety of colors. Sand (from the beach or playground)
Paper, pencils, glue and popsicle sticks. Plastic spoons and a plastic or styrofoam tray
raw out a picture on your paper and remember to keep it simple...

Shavuot Bikkurim painting

Shavuot - Hag ha'Bikkurim or Festival of the First Fruits.
In the Bible Shavuot is called Hag Matan Torateinu, Hebrew for the Festival of the Giving of Our Torah, or Hag ha-Bikkurim which is Hebrew for Festival of the First Fruits, as well as Hag ha-Katzir or the Festival of the Harvest
Shavuot was also the first day on which individuals could bring the Bikkurim (first fruits) to the Temple in Jerusalem . The Bikkurim were brought from the Seven Species for which the Land of Israel is praised.
Jewish farmers would tie a reed around the first ripening fruits from each of these species in their fields. At the time of harvest, the fruits identified by the reed would be cut and placed in baskets woven of gold and silver. The baskets would then be loaded on oxen whose horns were gilded and laced with garlands of flowers, and who were led in a grand procession to Jerusalem.
