Hanukkah Garland Origami

Sharing is caring!

I made this origami Hanukkah garland last year as a simple Hanukkah party decor idea. You can make it too using things you already have, and in a short amount of time! Disclosure: this post contains affiliate links.

Last year’s Hanukkah party had me going all out. I designed special dreidel treat boxes. I folded some pretty dreidel napkins. And of course, I made my favorite golden potato latkes – and a spaghetti squash version too!

And then, on the day of the party I got the flu. Wonderful!

But I had already made this garland and the party was a smashing hit, with me in bed before it was over. And I hope to throw another one this year…

Anyway, this garland is really easy to make – just create some origami stars of David and dreidels, string, and hang. The kids can definitely get involved – they might even be able to do it all on their own!

I used sheets of 12×12 inch scrapbook paper instead of origami paper to get a substantial size.

I confess, this origami Hanukkah garland hung for most of the year – I took it down sometime mid-summer! Now on to the tutorial…

What you need to make an Origami Hanukkah Garland:

• 12×12 inch scrapbook paper in colors to match your decor
• A hole punch
• String in a coordinating color (I used blue and white baker’s twine)

How to make an Origami Hanukkah Garland:

1. Create origami dreidels and stars of David to fit the length you want. See how to make the dreidel here or by watching the video below:

2. Punch two holes near the top of each dreidel and star.

3. Thread your string/twine through from back to front, and then back again. You don’t need to tie it – it should hold in place on its own.

4. Hang your Hanukkah garland and party on! Don’t forget to take it down when Hanukkah is done – or your guests might be truly confused (true story…)
