Aren't these cute? I sat down at my dining room table with a bunch of colored circles, and this is one of the festive ideas I came up with. If your Succah generally leans on the elegant side (like mine, actually) , so these decorations would look great in neutral contrasting colors too! Imagine creme and gold? Pastel blue and creme?
This week will be packed with lots of fun ideas using mostly paper and glue. So don't panic there's still plenty of time to make wonderful things for your Succah, just make sure to have the necessary supplies on hand! The main thing is to get going now. I'll be starting with the slightly more complicated ideas at the beginning of the week, with several posts each day, and ending with simpler and quicker ideas at the end, when you may be starting to feel the pinch. Take my advice, decorate first and cook later, or don't take my advice. But somehow the cooking always gets done whereas the decorations might not? A beautiful handcrafted Succah is a very important part of our enjoyment of the seven day holiday, so I hope to follow my own advice so as not to stay up the night before hanging decorations!
