For these pretty TIN CAN LUMINARIES, blogger
Dena Siegel of Chaiandhome.com used a small nail
and hammer to punch holes in tin soup cans in the
shape of a Star of David (she freestyled it, but you can
print a template online and tape it to the can). Pale-
blue spray paint (or try gold) formulated for metal
can be picked up at craft or paint stores. Insert a tea
light for an illuminating display.

Blogger Quinn Cooper of Quinncooperstyle.com created this CHANUKAH
TABLESCAPE: Starting with inexpensive gold chargers from Party City (partycity.
corn) or Linentablecloth.com , layer simple white china topped with Ikat Mini Lattice
Napkins ($20 for a set of 4) from West Elm (westelm.com ). Cooper then crafted her
own Chanukah Dreidel Cards to add some fun to each place setting: Print out dreidel
templates online (Cooper's site has everything you need), trace then cut them out of
white card stock and trace templates for each dreidel letter. Retrace the letters with a
glue pen and quickly dump gold glitter onto the glue, let it dry and shake off excess.
Repeat the same steps for the silver glitter border. Simple white daisies in Mason jars
and pretty blue glassware soften the look.
