Make a menorah using battery-operated tealights and some pretty scrapbooking or holiday paper. [project: JoAnn Fabrics]. There’s a list of suggested materials. You could definitely find some substitutions that are less expensive than their suggestions.
This would be a great safe menorah for kids to light, since the tealights look like fire but aren’t!
Project Estimate:
Battery Operated Tealights, 5 packages of 2, $5
Two wooden I’s (seriously, that’s what they used), $2
