What Do You Need?
- 1 square green pint-sized plastic container of the lattice kind (the type found at the supermarket for berries)
- 1 piece of laminated fabric, wall or shelf paper for carpet
- egg carton, 3 bottle caps, or spool and 2 caps (for table and chairs)
- 1 birthday candle (optional)
- evergreen twigs or green paper
- autumn hedge berries or red beads that you can string
- cardboard
- glue and rag
- felt pen and crayons
Let's Get Started!
- Cut cardboard to measure 7x 8 inches (18x20 cm).
- Place container over fabric and trace around it with a pencil.
- Cut the fabric so it's slightly smaller than the marked square. Since it will serve as a carpet, it should not extend beyond the sukkah's walls.
- Glue carpet in center of cardboard.
- Cut a door in one side of the basket.
- For table, cut one section from egg carton and trim the bottom. Or use spool.
- Glue table and chairs in center of carpet. Glue small birthday candle on top of the table.
- Decorate the sukkah with greenery and berries by weaving them through the lattice walls.
- Spread glue on rim of sukkah and glue it to the carpet. Press down lightly and let dry.
- Decorate the cardboard around the sukkah by drawing vines, flowers and fruits.
