This year, help your children to feel more involved in the traditions of Passover. Kids will have fun making a special Elijah's cup that can become a family keepsake for years to come.
What you'll need:
- a glass cup or goblet
- Mod Podge or craft glue
- paint brush
- tissue paper
- scissors
- gems, stickers or sequins
What you'll do:
Cut the tissue paper into 1-inch squares.
Thoroughly clean and dry the glass before you get started to remove any stains or debris. Dip the brush into the Mod Podge and start painting the Mod Podge on to the glass. If you don't have Mod Podge you can use regular craft glue instead.
Start sticking the 1-inch squares on the glass.
Paint over each square with the Mod Podge once it is applied to the glass. Layer the squares so that they overlap each other.
Keep adding tissue paper squares until the entire glass is covered.
Once the glass is completely covered, give the entire thing another coat of Mod Podge to seal it. Let the Mod Podge dry thoroughly.
Once the Mod Podge has completely dried, start gluing the gems to the cup. Let kids decorate the cup as much as they like with gems, sequins or stickers.
