Eifel Tower Hanukkah Menorah

My granddaughter Tzipporah recently celebrated her 7th birthday.  She was born on the fifth night of Hanukkah.  So, the day of her birthday celebration changes every year.  Normally she celebrates on a weekend near her birhtday.  But this year my daughter-in-law decided to make the party on her actual birthday.

She chose Hanukkah in Paris for her theme.  I immediately began scouring websites looking for a menorah to get for her.  But, I could not find a single Eifel Tower or Paris hanukiah (Hanukkah menorah).  I knew that we would have to make one if she got one.

It turned out so cute we actually used it as a craft for the girls who attended the party and each girl went home with one of her own.  It was really simple, so I wanted to share it with others who might also want a Paris theme Hanukkah party.


I bought some inexpensive tin menorahs.  These are available at most Judaica shops and websites.

I bought some black spray paint.  I used the high heat kind since it would be near flames, but I don't know if that is necessary.

I painted the menorahs outside and left them to dry overnight.

 

 

I bought some Eifel Tower bottle openers.  I found them at our local party supply store, but also saw them on some websites for wedding favors.

 

I bought glue that works for metals and is heavy duty.

 

 

I glued the Eifel Towers onto the menorahs.  I let them dry overnight.

 

 

 I bought jewelry glue and rhinestone and sequin stars for the girls to glue on their menorah at the party. Sophie, another one of my granddaughters loved showing hers off for a picture.

 

 

 

 

I made one in advance for the girls to see, and used it as a party decoration.

 

Tzipporah enjoyed lighting her candles on her very own Eifel Tower menorah all during the remainer of Hanukkah.
