Shoe Menorah
Whether it's a ballet slipper or a soccer cleat, if your daughter is anything like mine, she LOVES shoes! Celebrate her passion and make a menorah that looks like her closet.
Materials:
• Plank of bass wood
• 4 pairs of doll shoes (I found tons at Michael's--bunny slippers, flip flops, sneakers...all soooooo cute!)
• 9 metal snaps (like you would use for pants) just need the bottom part
• 9 birthday cake candles in plastic holders
• pink acrylic paint
• glue glue gun and sticks

|
| Step 3: Using glue gun, glue bottom part of metal snaps (like you would use for pants) in front of each shoe including one in the center for the shamash. Then glue candles in the plastic holders into the snaps (the holders will hold the candles each night--snaps are too wide to support candles) |
