How to Make a Menorah With Cardboard Tubes
Celebrate Hanukkah with your little ones by creating a menorah out of cardboard tubes. Perfect for beginners, this quick and easy project guide will show you how fun and easy it is to make a traditional menorah, with candles that each represent a day of Hanukkah.
Easily adaptable for children of all ages, you can decorate the tubes in a wide variety of ways. Here we've used washi tape, paint, and self-adhesive gems, but you could use patterned paper, ribbons or whatever you have in your crafting stash!

Stick washi tape on the cardboard tubes to create stripes in all different directions on all of the candles.
Apply some paint to the plain areas of the taller brown cardboard tube, and then apply some gems to each tube.
You need to make a little 'hammock' for the LED tealight to sit in. So, take a piece of washi tape and stick a piece across the top of the cardboard tube, ensure you have enough slack on it so that you can push in the tealight, and so it doesn't overhang the cardboard tube.
Place in the tea light, it should fit in snugly. You can now easily take out the tealight to switch it on or off.
Line up all the tubes with the tallest in the middle to finish.
Top Tip: If you wanted to ensure that your candles all stay together you could attach them to one another using glue dots/hot glue or double-sided tape.
