Curiously Strong" Shabbat Box

Got room in your bag for mints?  Then you have room for a traveling Shabbat Box.

Materials:

• Altoids box (or similar)
• Gems (may have some left over from Jeweled Kiddush Cups)
• Glue that adheres metal
• Bake-able clay (like Sculpey)
• Shabbat candles


   
Step 1: Glue gems onto tin box (I used an Altoids mint box) Hint: plan pattern before you glue.
   
   
Step 2: Cut candles to fit into box. Measure remaining space and form a block of clay that will fit into the box.

   
   
Step 3:  Press candles into clay to make holes.
 
 
Step 4:  You may press extra gems into clay before baking. Bake clay according to directions.
   
   
Step 5:  Pack and enjoy Shabbat wherever you go!
