Hanukkah table favour

Materials:

• 2 shades of blue paper
• scissors
• Scotch Mints

Directions:

1. Cut both shades of blue paper into thin strips lengthwise with scissors.

2. Gently pull the edge of the scissor blade along the paper to curl it.

3. Gather about a dozen curled strips in your hand and gently roll them together as if you were making a snowball.

4. Flatten slightly so it resembles a bird’s nest. Form a small cup in the centre on the top.

5. Drop 3 mints into the “nest” and place on a small saucer in front of each guest.
