Rhinestone Rhinoceros Menorah
Did you really expect a DIY roundup from us that didn’t include glitter + Mod Podge? We’re wild about this sparkly rhino. Grab your favorite toy animal to use as the base for this circus candle holder.
Branch Menorah
Forage for a sturdy fallen branch for a rustic piece to adorn your tabletop. You’ll need to break out the power tools for this one: Drill eight holes, and slather on a few coats of glittery silver paint.
Table And Chairs
Add some whimsy to your Hanukkah celebration by purchasing a miniature table and chairs and using hot glue to secure a candle to each one. How cute!
Mud Cloth-Inspired Succulent Menorah
It doesn’t get better than this. Start collecting those glass (or plastic) bottles now. Once you have nine, dip them in paint for a whitewashed look that’s chic enough to sit next to the challah. (via Brit + Co)
Copper Cluster Vase
Although this isn’t *technically* a menorah tutorial, you could make it one with the right sizes and numbers of pipes — how gorgeous would that be?!
Rose Branch Candelabra
Okay, same with this one — but how beautiful would this be menorah-style? Very beautiful.
Circles And Squares
Grab a variety of wooden shapes, glue them together, and spray paint them gold for a chic update. Easy peasy.
Copper Menorah
The pipes in this DIY give it a modern and unique feel that will fit in with any geometric home decor. Feel free to dip dye your candles too. (via Brit + Co)
Driftwood Menorah
There are a variety of woods you can use to make branch menorahs. However, if you live by the coast and you happen to find the perfect piece of driftwood, that also makes a great base.
A Colorful Holiday
If you're an artist, grab paintbrushes (make sure they're the kind that have holes at the end of their handles) and use them as candlesticks. It's colorful, it's artsy, and it's the perfect addition to any Hanukkah.
